Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i7-1265U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1265U is faster than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1265U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5300U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 5300U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U 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 Core i7-1265U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 5300U. The Core i7-1265U 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.
