Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i5-8259U benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500U performs better than the Core i5-8259U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8259U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U. Also, the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8259U 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 5 3500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U.
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.
