Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i7-5820K comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500X beats the Core i7-5820K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5820K in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-5820K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5820K. Also, the Ryzen 5 3500X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-5820K CPU because of its 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
