Core i5-7500 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U is faster than the Core i5-7500. Despite this, the Core i5-7500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Also, the Core i5-7500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than Core i5-7500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7500. Despite this, the Core i5-7500 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U.

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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
