Core 2 Duo E8500 vs Ryzen 5 5500 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5500 is faster than the Core 2 Duo E8500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E8500 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core 2 Duo E8500 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E8500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo E8500. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E8500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core 2 Duo E8500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
