Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 7 5700U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5700U is faster than the Ryzen 5 3500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5700U. The Ryzen 7 5700U 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 7 5700U has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 5700U.

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.
