Ryzen 7 3700X vs Core i7-1260P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 3700X beats the Core i7-1260P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 3700X. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 3700X. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3700X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 3700X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 3700X 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 3700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
