Core i5-9500 vs Ryzen 5 7530U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7530U 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 7530U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 7530U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7530U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7530U 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 7530U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9500. The Ryzen 5 7530U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
