Core i5-2500 vs Ryzen 7 8845HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8845HS performs better 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 8845HS has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-2500 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2500. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8845HS outputs less heat than Core i5-2500 thanks to a significantly 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.
