AMD Ryzen 5 3350GE vs Intel Core i5-8279U

Ryzen 5 3350GE vs Core i5-8279U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3350GE is faster than the Core i5-8279U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8279U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3350GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8279U. The Core i5-8279U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3350GE thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3350GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
