AMD Ryzen 5 3350GE vs Intel Core i7-6700HQ

Ryzen 5 3350GE vs Core i7-6700HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700HQ is faster than the Ryzen 5 3350GE. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3350GE has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3350GE has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700HQ. A Ryzen 5 3350GE CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6700HQ CPU because of its slightly 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 3350GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
