Core i5-3550S vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3550S beats the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3550S. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE outputs less heat than Core i5-3550S 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 i5-3550S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
