Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i3-4130 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than the Core i3-4130. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4130 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 i3-4130 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4130. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1600. The Core i3-4130 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600 thanks to a slightly 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 5 1600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-4130. The Ryzen 5 1600 also has significantly 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 5 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
