Ryzen 5 3550H vs Core i5-8500 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3550H in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads than the Core i5-8500. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8500 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Core i5-8500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8500 CPU because of its 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 5 3550H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8500. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H.
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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
