Ryzen 5 3550H vs Ryzen 7 2700U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3550H is faster than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 2700U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Ryzen 7 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 2700U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3550H 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
