Ryzen 3 3300X vs Core i7-930 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 3300X is faster than the Core i7-930. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-930 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-930. Also, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-930 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
