Core i5-11500 vs Ryzen 5 5560U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5560U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5560U 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5560U.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-11500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
