Question: what is the difference between a ryzen 3 and 5?
Answer: Ryzen 3 uses the same Zeppelin die as Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7, which means each chip contains two CCXs, with each CCX having four cores. ... Its Ryzen 5 CPUs all support SMT (unlike Intel's Core i5, generally speaking) and its Ryzen 3 chips are quad-core designs competing against Core i3 dual-cores with HT enabled.
