Ryzen 7 3700U vs Core i5-8500 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8500 is faster than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3700U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8500 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Indeed, the Core i5-8500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 7 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 3700U has more threads than the Core i5-8500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U. Also, the Core i5-8500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 3700U 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 7 3700U 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 7 3700U.
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 7 3700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
