Ryzen 3 5300G vs Ryzen 5 3500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500 is faster than the Ryzen 3 5300G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300G in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 5300G. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 5300G. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 5300G has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 5300G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500. 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 5300G. 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
