Ryzen 3 2200U vs Ryzen 5 3500U benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500U beats the Ryzen 3 2200U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 3500U has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 2200U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 3500U has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 2200U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
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 Ryzen 3 2200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
