Ryzen 3 5300U vs Core i5-8500T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 5300U performs better than the Core i5-8500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-8500T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 5300U has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Ryzen 3 5300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8500T 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 3 5300U has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500T. Despite this, the Core i5-8500T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U.

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 5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
