Ryzen 7 2700 vs Core i3-10300 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 2700 is faster than the Core i3-10300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10300 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 2700 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-10300. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-10300. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10300. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-10300 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 2700. Also, the Core i3-10300 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-10300. The Ryzen 7 2700 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 7 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
