Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen Threadripper 1920X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 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 Threadripper 1920X has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500. Indeed, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has 12 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 slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen Threadripper 1920X CPU because of its 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 Threadripper 1920X has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3500. The Ryzen Threadripper 1920X also has significantly more 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.
