Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i7-4800MQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4800MQ 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4800MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4800MQ 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 i7-4800MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4800MQ has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
