Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 7 4700U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500 beats the Ryzen 7 4700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. The Ryzen 7 4700U 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U.

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.
