AMD Ryzen 3 3350U vs Intel Core i7-4870HQ

Ryzen 3 3350U vs Core i7-4870HQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3350U beats the Core i7-4870HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4870HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4870HQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4870HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3350U. A Ryzen 3 3350U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4870HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 3350U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
