Core i5-7500 vs Ryzen 5 7600X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7600X beats the Core i5-7500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 7600X has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7500. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7600X has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7600X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-7500. Also, the Ryzen 5 7600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7500 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7600X CPU because of its 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 7600X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7500. The Ryzen 5 7600X 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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
