AMD Ryzen 5 3350G vs Intel Core i7-7700

Ryzen 5 3350G vs Core i7-7700 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7700 beats the Ryzen 5 3350G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3350G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 5 3350G and Core i7-7700 are identical in this regard. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 3350G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
