Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 7 2700X specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 2700X performs better than the Ryzen 5 3500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 2700X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU because of its 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 7 2700X has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3500. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
