AMD Ryzen 5 3500U vs Intel Core i7-1065G7

Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i7-1065G7 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500U beats the Core i7-1065G7 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1065G7 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Ryzen 5 3500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1065G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1065G7 has a slightly 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-1065G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1065G7 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.
