AMD Ryzen 3 5425U vs Intel Core i3-1315U

Ryzen 3 5425U vs Core i3-1315U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1315U beats the Ryzen 3 5425U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5425U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1315U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5425U that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 5425U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1315U. Despite this, the Core i3-1315U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i3-1315U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 5425U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
