Core i3-9100 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-9100 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9100 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Also, the Core i3-9100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U outputs less heat than Core i3-9100 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9100. Despite this, the Core i3-9100 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U.

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 i3-9100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
