Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i3-12100 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-12100 beats the Ryzen 7 4700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4700U has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-12100 that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-12100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, the Core i3-12100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-12100 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
