Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 5 4500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 3500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 4500 has more threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 3500 and Ryzen 5 4500 have the same clock speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 5 3500 also has significantly 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.
