Additional specifications

Detailed processor specifications AMD Ryzen 5 3500U. Here you will find out the L2 and L3 memory size (cacheable and affecting data processing). The manufacturing process is also very important, it is measured in nanometers and the smaller the better. As a rule, only the most modern models are produced by the manufacturing method of lithography. Also here is information on the socket of the motherboard and the date of manufacture of the model, the fresher the processor, the longer it will last until the next upgrade.

V-Ray CPU-Render AMD Ryzen 5 3500U

V-RayBenchmark is a free standalone application for testing the rendering speed of your system. It is simple, fast and includes Benchmark includes two test scenes: one for V-Ray and one for the GPU V-Ray, depending on which rendering engine you want to measure. The free V-Ray Benchmark app allows you to test the rendering power of your hardware. But you can also just use our top of the fastest and most powerful processors based on benchmarks. We've compiled the Vray benchmark results for you in one table. We'll also take a look at the following: - Which is better for V-Ray rendering - CPU or GPU? - Is the GPU faster for V-Ray than the CPU? - Is V-Ray rendering faster on the GPU? - Is rendering on the CPU better than on the GPU? V-Ray and the V-Ray GPU are the two V-Ray rendering engines. Keep the nuance in mind and there will be no questions left.
