Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i5-1035G1 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1035G1 beats the Ryzen 5 2500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2500U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 2500U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1035G1. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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 Core i5-1035G1. Despite this, the Core i5-1035G1 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U.

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.
