Ryzen 5 3450U vs Core i3-N305 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-N305 beats the Ryzen 5 3450U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3450U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3450U. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3450U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3450U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Despite this, the Core i3-N305 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. In terms of cache, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 3450U. The Core i3-N305 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.
