AMD Ryzen 5 2500U vs Intel Core i5-1145G7

Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i5-1145G7 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1145G7 performs better than the Ryzen 5 2500U. 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-1145G7 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. Also, the Core i5-1145G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-1145G7 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.
