Ryzen 3 3200G vs Core i5-2500K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3200G beats the Core i5-2500K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2500K 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 Ryzen 3 3200G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2500K. A Ryzen 3 3200G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2500K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 3200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
