Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i7-7700K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7700K is faster than the Ryzen 3 4300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 4300U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-7700K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U. Also, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 4300U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-7700K. Despite this, the Core i7-7700K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U.

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.
