Ryzen 3 3350U vs Core i9-12900T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3350U beats the Core i9-12900T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-12900T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-12900T has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3350U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3350U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 3350U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900T. A Ryzen 3 3350U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-12900T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i9-12900T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 3350U. The Core i9-12900T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
