AMD Ryzen 3 3200U vs Intel Pentium Silver J5040

Ryzen 3 3200U vs Pentium Silver J5040 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3200U beats the Pentium Silver J5040 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver J5040 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver J5040 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3200U. Indeed, the Pentium Silver J5040 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3200U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 3200U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver J5040. The Pentium Silver J5040 outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 3200U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
