Intel Core i5-1245U vs AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U

Core i5-1245U vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U beats the Core i5-1245U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1245U has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has more threads than the Core i5-1245U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-1245U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1245U.

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 i5-1245U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
