Core i7-8750H vs Ryzen 5 5500 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5500 is faster than the Core i7-8750H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8750H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8750H. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8750H 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 5500 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-8750H. The Ryzen 5 5500 also has significantly more 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 i7-8750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
