Ryzen 5 2500U vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U is faster than the Ryzen 5 2500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2500U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and 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 5 2500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
