Core i7-7500U vs Ryzen 5 5500 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500 performs better than the Core i7-7500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7500U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-7500U. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-7500U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7500U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7500U. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7500U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
