Ryzen 5 3500U vs Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G 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 but the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3500U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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.
