AMD Ryzen 3 5300U vs Intel Core i7-2760QM

Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i7-2760QM benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 5300U is faster than the Core i7-2760QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2760QM 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2760QM. Also, the Ryzen 3 5300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2760QM CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
