Ryzen 5 3500 vs Core i7-1355U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500 performs better than the Core i7-1355U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1355U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1355U has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500. Indeed, the Core i7-1355U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1355U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-1355U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-1355U.

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.
