AMD Ryzen 5 3500U vs Intel N150

Ryzen 5 3500U vs N150 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500U performs better than the N150. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N150 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N150. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The N150 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
