Core i5-8500T vs Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U beats the Core i5-8500T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8500T has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U. Indeed, the Core i5-8500T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U outputs less heat than Core i5-8500T 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 3 PRO 4450U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500T. Despite this, the Core i5-8500T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U.

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. For instance, the Core i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
