Ryzen 5 3500X vs Ryzen 7 7840H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 7840H is faster than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 7840H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7840H 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 7 7840H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3500X. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 7840H has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 7840H.

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.
