With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 8500G has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8500G outputs less heat than Ryzen Threadripper 1900X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has more L2 cache than the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 Threadripper 1900X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
