Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i3-9300 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 5300U performs better than the Core i3-9300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9300 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Also, the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-9300 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-9300. Despite this, the Core i3-9300 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U.

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.
