Core i5-9500 vs Ryzen 5 5500 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 beats the Core i5-9500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 5500 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500. Despite this, the Core i5-9500 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9500. The Ryzen 5 5500 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 i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
