Ryzen 5 3550H vs Core i7-3820 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3550H is faster than the Core i7-3820. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3820 in all gaming tests too.

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 i7-3820 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Core i7-3820 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3820 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 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
