AMD Ryzen 5 1500X vs Intel Core i3-N305

Ryzen 5 1500X vs Core i3-N305 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1500X is faster than the Core i3-N305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-N305 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 1500X. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 1500X. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1500X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 1500X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 1500X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-N305.

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.
