AMD Ryzen 5 1500X vs Intel Core i3-8100T

Ryzen 5 1500X vs Core i3-8100T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1500X is faster than the Core i3-8100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8100T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 1500X has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8100T. The Core i3-8100T outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1500X thanks to a 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 1500X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8100T. The Ryzen 5 1500X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 5 1500X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
