Ryzen 5 2500U vs Core i7-975 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 2500U performs better than the Core i7-975. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-975 in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-975 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-975 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.
