Core i3-1215U vs Ryzen 5 5500GT benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1215U is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500GT in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has 6 cores compared to 3 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500GT. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i3-1215U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500GT CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-1215U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
