Ryzen 5 3500U vs Core i7-7700T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500U performs better than the Core i7-7700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-7700T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3500U. Also, the Core i7-7700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7700T 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 i7-7700T. Despite this, the Core i7-7700T 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.
