Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i5-4440 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500U beats the Core i5-4440 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4440 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4440 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4440 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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