Ryzen 7 3800X vs Core i5-10505 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 3800X is faster than the Core i5-10505. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10505 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 3800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-10505 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10505. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 3800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10505. Despite this, the Core i5-10505 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10505 outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 3800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 7 3800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
