Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i7-4790 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 5300U is faster than the Core i7-4790. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U. Also, the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-4790. Despite this, the Core i7-4790 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.
