Ryzen 3 4300G vs Core i7-3930K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 4300G performs better than the Core i7-3930K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3930K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-3930K has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 4300G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 4300G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3930K. Also, the Ryzen 3 4300G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3930K 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 4300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
