AMD Ryzen 7 3700U vs Intel Core i7-5700HQ

Ryzen 7 3700U vs Core i7-5700HQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-5700HQ performs better than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3700U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-5700HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U. A Ryzen 7 3700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-5700HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-5700HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-5700HQ 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.
