Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i5-10210U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 5300U beats the Core i5-10210U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10210U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 5300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10210U. Despite this, the Core i5-10210U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10210U. Despite this, the Core i5-10210U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U.

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.
