Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i7-6700HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 4300U is faster than the Core i7-6700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-6700HQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700HQ. Also, the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6700HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
