Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core 5 120U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 4300U performs better than the Core 5 120U. Despite this, the Core 5 120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 4300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U. The info from our database shows that the Core 5 120U has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 4300U. The Core 5 120U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
