Core i5-9500 vs Ryzen 5 5625U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5625U beats the Core i5-9500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-9500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 5625U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5625U. Also, the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5625U outputs less heat than Core i5-9500 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 5625U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9500. The Ryzen 5 5625U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
