Ryzen 3 4300U vs Ryzen 5 3550H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3550H beats the Ryzen 3 4300U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 3550H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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.
