Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500 beats the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and 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.
