Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i5-7600K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7600K performs better than the Ryzen 3 4300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 4300U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U. Also, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 3 4300U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7600K. Despite this, the Core i5-7600K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
