Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i5-6500 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6500 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 but the Ryzen 5 2500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i5-6500. Despite this, the Core i5-6500 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U.
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.
