Core i5-4690 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U is faster than the Core i5-4690. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4690 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Also, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than Core i5-4690 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-4690 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
