Ryzen 5 3350GE vs Core i5-8500 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 3350GE. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3350GE in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3350GE that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3350GE has more threads than the Core i5-8500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3350GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500. A Ryzen 5 3350GE CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8500 CPU because of its 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 3350GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
