AMD Ryzen 5 3500C Benchmark, Test and specs

The AMD Ryzen 5 3500C has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 8 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the AMD Ryzen 5 3500C is 2.1 GHz and turbo frequency for one core is 3.7 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3500C has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. Specifically, the AMD Ryzen 5 3500C uses the AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, which has 512 texture shaders and 8 execution units. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

The processor supports a maximum memory capacity of 64.0 GB distributed across 2 memory channels. It offers a peak memory bandwidth of 39.5 GB/s. Both the type and quantity of memory can have a substantial impact on the overall system performance.

The processor has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W watts. TDP indicates the cooling solution needed to effectively manage the processor's heat. It generally provides an approximate indication of the actual power consumption of the CPU itself.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3500C is manufactured using a 12 nm process. A smaller manufacturing process indicates a more contemporary and energy-efficient CPU. In total, this processor boasts a generous 4.0 MB cache. A substantial cache can significantly enhance the processor's performance, particularly in scenarios like gaming.
