Ryzen 5 1500X vs Core i7-3540M benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1500X is faster than the Core i7-3540M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3540M in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 1500X has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-3540M that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3540M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3540M. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-3540M 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 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.
