Ryzen 5 1500X vs Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1500X is faster than the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 5 1500X also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1500X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
