Ryzen 3 4300U vs Ryzen 5 3500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500 performs better than the Ryzen 3 4300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 4300U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 4300U has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 3500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 4300U. The Ryzen 5 3500 also has significantly more 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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
