Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i7-5700HQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-5700HQ beats the Ryzen 5 3500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-5700HQ has a slightly 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 i7-5700HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3500U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-5700HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-5700HQ 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.
