Ryzen 5 3450U vs Core i7-3740QM specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3740QM is faster than the Ryzen 5 3450U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3450U 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 Core i7-3740QM has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3450U. Also, the Core i7-3740QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3450U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3740QM CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
