Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U vs Core i3-N305 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-N305 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Despite this, the Core i3-N305 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. The Core i3-N305 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 PRO 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
