Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i7-6820HK benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 4300U beats the Core i7-6820HK in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6820HK in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-6820HK has more threads. Both the Ryzen 3 4300U and Core i7-6820HK have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6820HK 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.
