Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i9-9980HK comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500X performs better than the Core i9-9980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9980HK in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9980HK has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Indeed, the Core i9-9980HK has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3500X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3500X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-9980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-9980HK 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9980HK. 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.
