AMD Ryzen 5 3500 Performance Boost?

I recently read about the AMD Ryzen 5 3500 and I'm curious to know if it offers any performance boost compared to the AMD Ryzen 3 3100. Can anyone provide some insight on this?

The main difference between the two is that the Ryzen 5 3500 has more cores, which can help improve overall performance for certain tasks.

Yes, @Madcow457, you're right. According to TechReviewer article AMD Ryzen 5 3500 vs. AMD Ryzen 3 3100, the Ryzen 5 3500 comes with six cores and a higher single-core max boost frequency compared to the Ryzen 3 3100. This means it can handle more demanding applications better and maintain high frame rates in games.

That's interesting! So, does this mean that the Ryzen 5 3500 would be a better choice for someone who plays a lot of graphics-intensive games?

It could be, @Madcow457. The extra cores and higher boost frequency should provide better performance in most games. However, it ultimately depends on your specific needs and budget. If you don't need the extra power and can save some money, the Ryzen 3 3100 is still a great option.

I'd also consider future-proofing when choosing between these two CPUs. The Ryzen 5 3500 might be more future-proof since it has better overclocking support and PCIe 4.0 compatibility, which can offer significant performance improvements when using fast SSDs and graphics cards.

Good point, @LedSchwifty. I'll have to think about my specific needs and what's most important to me in a CPU. Thanks for the advice!

You're welcome, @Madcow457. Remember that it's always best to do your own research and consider factors like budget, performance requirements, and future-proofing before making a decision. Good luck with your choice!
