Core i5-8500 vs Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8500 beats the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has more threads than the Core i5-8500. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8500. 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8500. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G.

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 i5-8500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
