Core i3-9100F vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-9100F is faster 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.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U outputs less heat than Core i3-9100F thanks to a 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 Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-9100F. Despite this, the Core i3-9100F 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 i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
