Ryzen 5 3600 vs Ryzen 5 5625U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3600 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5625U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5625U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5625U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5625U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5625U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 3600 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
