Ryzen 3 3250U vs Pentium G4520 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3250U performs better than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3250U. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4520 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 3 3250U has more L2 cache than the Pentium G4520. 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 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
