Ryzen 3 4300G vs Core i7-6700K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 4300G beats the Core i7-6700K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 4300G. A Ryzen 3 4300G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6700K 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 Ryzen 3 4300G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-6700K. Despite this, the Core i7-6700K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300G.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
