Core i5-6402P vs Ryzen 5 7520U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7520U beats the Core i5-6402P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6402P in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 7520U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 7520U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7520U outputs less heat than Core i5-6402P thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7520U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6402P. Despite this, the Core i5-6402P has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.

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 i5-6402P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
