Ryzen 3 4300GE vs Core i7-3960X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3960X performs better than the Ryzen 3 4300GE. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300GE has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-3960X has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 4300GE that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300GE. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 4300GE has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3960X. A Ryzen 3 4300GE CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3960X 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 4300GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
