Core i5-10210U vs Ryzen 5 7520U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10210U is faster than the Ryzen 5 7520U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7520U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7520U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-10210U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7520U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10210U. Despite this, the Core i5-10210U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.

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 i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
