You have to lower the minimum graphics to play things like street fighter V and MK 11 with lower frame drop rate

it can handle programs really well, and so far, my usage of this processor is quite good. I can run android studio smoothly and can also play fps(shooting) games with it (no lag w/ right settings). Overall, it might not be the most powerful, but it can certainly handle tasks that require processing.

This processor has high consistency which can help you run games which can fit its requirements, but for higher performance, it is recommended to use the likes of Ryzen 5 3550H or Ryzen 7 3750H or even consider the 4th Generation Ryzen series. Other than that, one of the best budget processors from AMD. :)

Good for work but nothing else. PUBG runs at 7 fps with a 1% low of 6 fps. Gaming is absolutely terrible.—Nov '22

It does really well for gaming, even though a lot of newer Intel processors outperform it.

A great cpu for light gaming and computing. With a TDP cranked to 30W and a 70A vrm current i can push 120fps on csgo.

With his clock of 2.1GHZ base clock and 3.7GHZ and it's Vega 8 iGPU, the R5 3500U is a good choice for a Mobile PC user. Personally, it's a very good CPU for working and for certain games.

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
