Ryzen 3 4300G vs Core i7-9700 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700 performs better than the Ryzen 3 4300G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 4300G in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9700 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 4300G. Indeed, the Core i7-9700 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 4300G. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 4300G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-9700 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
