Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i5-3570 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3570 performs better than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3250U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-3570 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3570 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Also, the Core i5-3570 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3570 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
