Ryzen 5 3450U vs Core i7-3770 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3770 beats the Ryzen 5 3450U in overall performance. 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 i7-3770 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3450U. Also, the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3450U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3450U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-3770. Despite this, the Core i7-3770 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3450U.

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 3450U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
