Ryzen 5 3500U vs Pentium N4200 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500U performs better than the Pentium N4200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium N4200. The Pentium N4200 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3500U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
