Ryzen 7 4800U vs Core i3-12100F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-12100F is faster than the Ryzen 7 4800U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4800U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4800U has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-12100F that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-12100F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U. Also, the Core i3-12100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-12100F 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 4800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
