Core i7-3820 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3820 beats the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3820 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Also, the Core i7-3820 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U outputs less heat than Core i7-3820 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-3820 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
