Ryzen 5 3500 vs Core i7-9750HF benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500 beats the Core i7-9750HF in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9750HF in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-9750HF has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9750HF. Despite this, the Core i7-9750HF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9750HF 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 i7-9750HF. The Ryzen 5 3500 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
