Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i7-9750H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500X is faster than the Core i7-9750H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9750H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-9750H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9750H. Despite this, the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9750H 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 3500X has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9750H. The Ryzen 5 3500X also has significantly more 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
