Core i5-7500 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 is faster than the Core i5-7500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-7500. Despite this, the Core i5-7500 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7500. The Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
