The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U is a mid-range processor for the mainstream-class laptop computers. With its four cores and a maximal clock speed of 3.7 GHz, the Ryzen 5 3500U is a great processor for the home and office computing duties, with ability to easily run multiple apps simultaneously. It can also handle very well some more demanding stuff as well, such as video editing.
AMD Ryzen 5 3500U CPU Benchmark

The benchmark results and specs show the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U competes directly against the Intel’s 8th Generation Core i5-8250U and i5-8265U. As expected, the 3500U is slightly faster than its Ryzen 5 2500U precursor with quite similar specs.
With its Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, the Ryzen 5 3500U can be a low-cost budget solution for gaming. For sure, it isn’t as nearly as fast as the dedicated video cards you can find in gaming laptops, but the Vega 8 can provide a very decent gaming experience in many of the popular titles.
Take a look at our Ryzen 5 3500U games test playlist with videos provided by the YouTube community:
Alongside the, 5 3500U AMD’s Ryzen 3000 U series includes the less used Ryzen 7 3700U, 3 3200U, and 3 3300U. The Ryzen 7 3700U is a slightly faster quad-core model with somewhat better Vega 10 integrated graphics. The Ryzen 3 3200U and 3 3300U with dual-core design and slower Vega 3 and Vega 6 integrated graphics are the lower-end parts of the series.

I bought Lenovo Laptop with Ryzen 5 3500u (8gb RAM + 256 GB SSD) for about 350 euros and its absolutely great. I’m using it mostly for office use, but I also play Football Manager 19 and it works great. I didn’t wanna to spend too much money for laptop, but I wanted something that will work fine for standard use, not only right now but also in few years and I think I hit jackpot.

Hi there, Honor released a budget laptop called honor MagicBook 14. It has AMD Ryzen 5 chip with 8GB of RAM. Can this be used for day trading or day trade laptop?
Hi, Which one would you recommend : i5 10th Gen 10210U, GeForce MX250, 256GB SSD or Ryzen 5 3500U, 512GB SSD? Also, the Ryzen laptop has pre-loaded MS Office. I’m going to begin my MBA studies and just play light games, if ever. I do substantial multi-tasking/multiple tabs. How much does the extra SSD affect performance and (light-medium) games? I prefer a good battery life. Rest of the features in the laptops are same. It’s a bit urgent. Also, is there even any signicant difference or can I overlook them? Thank you in advance, I understand they’re too many questions.

Hi there,
I’m looking to buy a laptop for school. I’ll be doing a masters in environmental science and it may require the use of multiple software such as ArcGis, R/R studio, NVivo, ESRI, QGIS. I may also be working with large data sets and I do have a tendency of having multiple tabs open as I am always multi-tasking. I just purchased a laptop with a AMD R5 3500u processor ( 8 GB ddr4 ram, 256 GB ssd, amd radeon vega 8 graphics). But only recently did my school post recommended technology requirements and they recommended a Intel Core i5 based model processor. Do you think my laptop will be good enough or should I return it and buy a laptop with intel core i5-10210U processor?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hey! I own a HP 14s dk0093au with the Ryzen 5 3500U. For some reason, my laptop gets heated very easily and jumps up to temp around 85C. Its been almost 11 months since I bought it. I have been experiencing this issue after a few weeks since I bought it. I did everything I could – update the BIOS, clean the internals, remove dust from the CPU fan – but nothing seems to work. Is there something I can do?

I’m considering buying a laptop for personal use and partial gaming yet am not ready to fully invest in a gaming laptop. I’m deciding between Acer Aspire 3 15.6-inch R5-3500U/16GB/1TB SSD Laptop and Acer Aspire 5 15.6-inch i7-1165G7/16GB/512GB SSD Laptop. There is a price difference of $100, the first one being cheaper. I’ve gathered the general consensus is the i7-1165G7 is superior, but how much better would it be? Would it be noticeable? I most usually play Minecraft and Roblox, but diverge on occasion to FPS games, rhythm games, etc.
