Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i7-7700HQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 4300U performs better than the Core i7-7700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700HQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-7700HQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-7700HQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 4300U. Also, the Core i7-7700HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7700HQ 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.
