Ryzen 3 3200U vs Core i5-6500 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6500 performs better than the Ryzen 3 3200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3200U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-6500 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 3200U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3200U. Also, the Core i5-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-6500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
