Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i7-4810MQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 2500U beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 2500U has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4810MQ. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 2500U. Also, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4810MQ 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 i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ 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.
