Core i7-5600U vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5600U is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-5600U has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-5600U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-5600U. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE 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 PRO 2400GE has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-5600U. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Core i7-5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
