Core i5-12490F vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12490F is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12490F. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12490F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12490F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12490F. Despite this, the Core i5-12490F 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12490F has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12490F.

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 Core i5-12490F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
