Core i5-12500T vs Ryzen 5 5560U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5560U is faster than the Core i5-12500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12500T 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 Ryzen 5 5560U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500T. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-12500T has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5560U. The Core i5-12500T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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