Intel Core i7-10870H vs AMD Ryzen 5 8500G

Core i7-10870H vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10870H is faster than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10870H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Indeed, the Core i7-10870H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 8500G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10870H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-10870H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 8500G CPU because of its 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 8500G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10870H. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Core i7-10870H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
