Ryzen 3 2200U vs Core i5-6500T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6500T performs better than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-6500T has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 2200U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 3 2200U and Core i5-6500T have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6500T CPU because of its 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 Ryzen 3 2200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
