Ryzen 5 3500 vs Core i7-10710U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10710U beats the Ryzen 5 3500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-10710U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10710U. The Core i7-10710U 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10710U. The Ryzen 5 3500 also has slightly 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
