Core i5-2500K vs Ryzen 5 5500GT specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500GT beats the Core i5-2500K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2500K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-2500K has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5500GT that has 3 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has more threads than the Core i5-2500K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2500K. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500GT outputs less heat than Core i5-2500K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-2500K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
