Core i5-8259U vs Ryzen 5 7520U benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7520U performs better than the Core i5-8259U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8259U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8259U. Also, the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7520U outputs less heat than Core i5-8259U thanks to a 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 7520U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.
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 i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
