Core i5-6500 vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 8500G is faster than the Core i5-6500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 8500G has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-6500 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 8500G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6500. The Ryzen 5 8500G also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 i5-6500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
