Processing Power

The Ryzen 3 7320C is a 4-core / 8-thread processor based on the Mendocino (Zen 2) (2022−2023) architecture, manufactured on a 6 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4.1 GHz from a base frequency of 2.4 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 4 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 512 kB (per core) of L2 cache and 64 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 8,193, placing it in the Budget performance tier as a Recent generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,163.
