Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i5-6500 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6500 performs better than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3250U 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 3250U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. Also, the Core i5-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3250U 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-6500 also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
