Ryzen 5 2500U vs Athlon Gold 7220U benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Gold 7220U is faster than the Ryzen 5 2500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2500U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 2500U has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon Gold 7220U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon Gold 7220U. Our comparison shows that the Athlon Gold 7220U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. Also, the Athlon Gold 7220U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 2500U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon Gold 7220U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
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 5 2500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
