Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i5-8265U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 5300U performs better than the Core i5-8265U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8265U 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 5300U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 3 5300U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U 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.
