AMD Ryzen 7 250 vs Intel Core 7 350: Comparison
AMD Ryzen 7 250 vs Intel Core 7 350: the l3 cache difference
Start with l3 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: AMD Ryzen 7 250 16 MB against Intel Core 7 350 6 MB, 63% in favour of AMD Ryzen 7 250. The total threads figures are near enough to ignore, 16 on the AMD Ryzen 7 250 versus 6 on the Intel Core 7 350. There is a split on p-core boost clock as well, Up to 5.1 GHz on the AMD Ryzen 7 250 versus 4.8 GHz on the Intel Core 7 350. They differ on p-core base clock too, 3.3 GHz on the AMD Ryzen 7 250 versus 1.5 GHz on the Intel Core 7 350. Tdp is not the same on both, 28 W on the AMD Ryzen 7 250 versus 15 W on the Intel Core 7 350. Socket is not the same on both, FP8, FP7, FP7r2 on the AMD Ryzen 7 250 versus FCBGA1516 on the Intel Core 7 350.
AMD Ryzen 7 250 vs Intel Core 7 350: which one fits your build
Buy the AMD Ryzen 7 250 for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is not built for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads. The Intel Core 7 350 suits budget and midrange everyday laptops and snappy browsing, office apps and video calls, though it is the wrong buy for video editing, 3D or large code builds and gaming beyond very light or older titles.
What AMD Ryzen 7 250 and Intel Core 7 350 have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: integrated graphics, market segment, unlocked multiplier and pcie generation are identical here.
Do the AMD Ryzen 7 250 and Intel Core 7 350 differ on total cores?
Yes. Total Cores reads 8 on the AMD Ryzen 7 250 versus 6 on the Intel Core 7 350.
