Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i7-6820HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 4300U is faster than the Core i7-6820HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6820HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6820HQ has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 3 4300U and Core i7-6820HQ are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6820HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
