Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 5 5500H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5500H that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500H has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500H 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 3500 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500H. The Ryzen 5 3500 also has significantly 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.
