Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i7-7500U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 4300U beats the Core i7-7500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7500U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 3 4300U has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-7500U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 3 4300U and Core i7-7500U are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
