AMD Ryzen 3 5300U vs Intel Core i3-N305

Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i3-N305 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 5300U is faster than the Core i3-N305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-N305 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U that has 4 cores. 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-N305. In terms of cache, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U. The Core i3-N305 also has significantly more 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
