Ryzen 7 3750H vs Core i3-8109U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8109U beats the Ryzen 7 3750H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3750H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 3750H has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8109U. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3750H has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-8109U. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8109U. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8109U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3750H. The Core i3-8109U outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 3750H thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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 3750H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8109U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 3750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
