Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i7-4790S specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 4300U beats the Core i7-4790S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790S in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4790S has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U. Also, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790S 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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
