AMD Ryzen 5 3450U vs Intel Core i7-6820HK

Ryzen 5 3450U vs Core i7-6820HK comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6820HK performs better than the Ryzen 5 3450U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3450U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6820HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3450U. A Ryzen 5 3450U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6820HK 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.
