AMD Ryzen 5 3500U vs AMD A8-6410

Ryzen 5 3500U vs A8-6410 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500U performs better than the A8-6410. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6410 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-6410. Also, the Ryzen 5 3500U has a significantly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
