Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i5-7300HQ specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7300HQ 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.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 2500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7300HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7300HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7300HQ. Despite this, the Core i5-7300HQ 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.
