Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500 is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3500 has 6 cores. 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 PRO 5850U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U 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 PRO 5850U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3500. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
