Ryzen 3 5300U vs Ryzen 5 3500 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500 beats the Ryzen 3 5300U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U. A Ryzen 3 5300U 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 5300U. 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 5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
