Core i5-2500K vs Ryzen 7 6800U specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 6800U performs better than the Core i5-2500K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2500K in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 6800U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-2500K. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800U has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-2500K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2500K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-2500K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 6800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 6800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800U 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.
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. For instance, the Core i5-2500K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
