AMD Ryzen 3 5300U vs Intel Core i3-1215U

Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i3-1215U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1215U beats the Ryzen 3 5300U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 5300U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 5300U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U 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. In terms of cache, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U. The Core i3-1215U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
