Ryzen 3 4300GE vs Core i5-6600 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 4300GE performs better than the Core i5-6600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6600 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 3 4300GE has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 4300GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6600. A Ryzen 3 4300GE CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6600 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 4300GE has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6600. Despite this, the Core i5-6600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300GE.

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 4300GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
