Ryzen 5 3500X vs Ryzen 7 5700 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700 beats the Ryzen 5 3500X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500X in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 5700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3500X has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500X. Also, the Ryzen 7 5700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5700 has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 3500X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 5700.

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.
