Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i5-4670 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500U beats the Core i5-4670 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4670 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4670 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3500U. Also, the Core i5-4670 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
