Core i5-6500 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U performs better than the Core i5-6500. Despite this, the Core i5-6500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U outputs less heat than Core i5-6500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6500. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U 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.
