Ryzen 5 2400G vs Ryzen 5 5500U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500U performs better than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400G in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 2400G has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 2400G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500U. The Ryzen 5 5500U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 2400G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 2400G. The Ryzen 5 5500U 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 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
