Ryzen 5 3450U vs Core i3-1220P benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3450U performs better than the Core i3-1220P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1220P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1220P has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3450U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3450U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3450U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1220P. Despite this, the Core i3-1220P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3450U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-1220P CPU because of its significantly 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 Core i3-1220P has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3450U. The Core i3-1220P also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3450U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
