Ryzen 3 3350U vs Core i7-6700 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700 is faster than the Ryzen 3 3350U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3350U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6700 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6700 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3350U. A Ryzen 3 3350U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6700 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3350U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 3350U.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 3350U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
