Core i7-5700HQ vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U is faster than the Core i7-5700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5700HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-5700HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U outputs less heat than Core i7-5700HQ thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-5700HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-5700HQ has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-5700HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
