Ryzen 5 3500 vs Core i5-10500H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10500H performs better than the Ryzen 5 3500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-10500H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10500H. The Core i5-10500H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3500 thanks to a significantly 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
