AMD Ryzen 5 3500U vs Intel Core i3-N300

Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i3-N300 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-N300 is faster than the Ryzen 5 3500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-N300 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N300. Despite this, the Core i3-N300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N300 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3500U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i3-N300 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U. The Core i3-N300 also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
