Intel Core i5-3570 vs AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme

Core i5-3570 vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme is faster than the Core i5-3570. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3570 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen Z1 Extreme has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-3570 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3570. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3570 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen Z1 Extreme.

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 i5-3570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
