Core i5-8250U vs Ryzen 5 5600 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600 beats the Core i5-8250U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8250U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-8250U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8250U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8250U. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8250U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8250U. The Ryzen 5 5600 also has significantly more L3 cache.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-8250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
