AMD Ryzen 7 7730U vs Intel Core i7-1260U

Ryzen 7 7730U vs Core i7-1260U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 7730U performs better than the Core i7-1260U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1260U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1260U has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 7730U. Indeed, the Core i7-1260U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has more threads than the Core i7-1260U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 7730U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260U. Despite this, the Core i7-1260U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260U outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 7730U thanks to a significantly 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 Core i7-1260U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-1260U.

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 7730U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
