Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i3-1125G4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 1600 beats the Core i3-1125G4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1125G4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 1600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-1125G4 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1125G4. The Core i3-1125G4 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600 thanks to a 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 5 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
