Core i5-9500 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 is faster than the Core i5-9500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-9500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9500. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
