Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i7-8850H specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8850H beats the Ryzen 3 5300U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 5300U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Both the Ryzen 3 5300U and Core i7-8850H have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8850H 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 slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8850H. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U.
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.
