Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i5-8250U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500X beats the Core i5-8250U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8250U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more cores than the Core i5-8250U. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500X has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-8250U. Despite this, the Core i5-8250U has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500X. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8250U. Also, the Ryzen 5 3500X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8250U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3500X thanks to a 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 3500X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8250U. The Ryzen 5 3500X also has significantly more L3 cache.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
