Core i5-4690K vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U beats the Core i5-4690K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4690K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Also, the Core i5-4690K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than Core i5-4690K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-4690K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
