Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i3-9100T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 2500U is faster than the Core i3-9100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9100T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 2500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9100T has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 2500U. Also, the Core i3-9100T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-9100T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 2500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
