Core i5-2500 vs Core i5-3550 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3550 is faster than the Core i5-2500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2500 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. According to our data, the Core i5-2500 and Core i5-3550 have the same clock speed. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-3550 outputs less heat than Core i5-2500 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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. For instance, the Core i5-2500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
