Core i7-1255U vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1255U is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1255U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U 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 info from our database shows that the Core i7-1255U has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-1255U.

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 i7-1255U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
