Core i5-12500 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE outputs less heat than Core i5-12500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-12500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
