Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i7-8705G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8705G beats the Ryzen 3 5300U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 5300U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U. Also, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8705G 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 i7-8705G. Despite this, the Core i7-8705G 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.
