Core i5-8500 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G beats the Core i5-8500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8500 has slightly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G that has 5 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G has more threads than the Core i5-8500. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8500. Also, the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G 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 7 PRO 4750G has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G.

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. For instance, the Core i5-8500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
