Ryzen 5 3500U Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested

Ryzen 5 3500U has been stress-tested in 2 distinct GPU pairings from 73 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 54.7/100 (grade C). The strongest measured pairing is AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics at 55/100; the weakest is Radeon R9 200 Series at 51.5/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 0.2% with thermal health around 87/100.

What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.

Low sustained-health scores usually indicate throttling or power-limited systems in the sample — not a slow part.

Citable facts about Ryzen 5 3500U

  • Ryzen 5 3500U has been measured in 2 distinct GPU pairings on UserBenchmark.org, totaling 73 verified browser stress-test samples.
  • Sample-weighted median Sustained Health Score across all Ryzen 5 3500U configurations: 54.7/100 (grade C). This score measures performance retention under sustained load, not peak throughput.
  • Best measured pairing (min 5 samples): Ryzen 5 3500U + AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics at 55/100 from 67 samples.
  • Weakest measured pairing (min 5 samples): Ryzen 5 3500U + Radeon R9 200 Series at 51.5/100 from 6 samples — low scores typically indicate thermal throttling or power-limited systems, not a slow chip.
  • Typical sustained-load CPU performance decay: 0.2%. Average thermal health: 87/100. Path-tracing stability: 87/100.
  • Per-pairing scores are medians (outlier-resistant); pairings are labeled High (15+ samples), Moderate (5-14) or Low (<5) confidence.
  • Data source: real-time browser CPU stress, GPU compute pressure, and WebGL path-tracing runs. License: CC BY 4.0 with attribution to UserBenchmark.org.
