Ryzen 7 7730U vs Core i3-N305 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 7730U performs better than the Core i3-N305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-N305 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 7730U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7730U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Also, the Ryzen 7 7730U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 7730U 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 7730U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
