Core i7-5700HQ vs Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5700HQ is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-5700HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U outputs less heat than Core i7-5700HQ thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-5700HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-5700HQ has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U.

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 i7-5700HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
