Ryzen 7 3700U vs Core i7-4850HQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 3700U is faster than the Core i7-4850HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4850HQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 7 3700U and Core i7-4850HQ are identical in this regard. A Ryzen 7 3700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4850HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 7 3700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
