Summary benchmark resultsAs a percentage of the maximum value based on a sample from the entire base of all processors
Processor Benchmark
| Ryzen 5 3500 | 53% |
Pentium 8500 | 54% |
The number of this parameter shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, Pentium 8500 is 1% better than Ryzen 5 3500. The data source is several popular tests. Detailed information can be found below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| Ryzen 5 3500 | 53% |
Pentium 8500 | 53% |
The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a little game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.
List of other games in which CPU comparisons were performed: Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, DOTA 2A, League of Legends (LOL), The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Battlefield V, Microsoft Flight Simulator, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Hitman 3, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Half-Life: Alyx, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro Exodus, Monster Hunter World, Ghostrunner, Horizon Zero Dawn, NBA 2K20, Forza Horizon 4, Control.
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 94.7 | 93.7 | | Valorant | 107.6 | 106.4 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 60.3 | 59.6 | | Apex Legends | 101.2 | 100.0 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 80.7 | 79.8 | | Overwatch | 87.2 | 86.2 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 74.3 | 73.4 | | DOOM Eternal | 53.8 | 53.2 | | Warzone | 83.9 | 83.0 | | Assassin's Creed | 90.4 | 89.4 | | Valheim | 89.3 | 88.3 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, FullHD or 4K. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| Ryzen 5 3500 | 276% |
Pentium 8500 | 369% |
To make a final resolution on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Pentium 8500 is more energy efficient than the Ryzen 5 3500 since it has less power consumption: 15W vs. 9W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you need to know its TDP. It is necessary to calculate so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.
Software benchmarksLet's say you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for streaming, programming, video rendering or video editing, machine learning, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to achieve maximum performance, the CPU turns on all threads and cores that it has. You will find out this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the software you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that use only one core to work, and all the advantages of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most helpful. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in the newest games. Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Ryzen 5 3500 is 52% better than Pentium 8500 in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Pentium 8500 has 1 more core than Ryzen 5 3500. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).
Result:
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 5 3500 is better: 23
The number of parameters for which Intel Pentium 8500 is better: 14
Although it should be realized that all the figures that you have looked at here do not mean that you should be guided entirely by them and trust a simple comparison of these figures. Better to watch benchmarks video and read the reviews of of people who bought AMD Ryzen 5 3500 and Intel Pentium 8500 before deciding which of the CPUs to buy for gaming.
