Ryzen 5 3500X vs Ryzen 9 4900HS specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 4900HS 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 9 4900HS 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 5 3500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 4900HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 4900HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 4900HS 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 9 4900HS 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 9 4900HS.

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.
