Core i5-8500T vs Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U performs better than the Core i5-8500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has more threads. Both the Core i5-8500T and Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U have the same clock speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U outputs less heat than Core i5-8500T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 4650U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500T. Despite this, the Core i5-8500T has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U.

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 i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
