AMD Ryzen 5 2500U vs Intel Pentium G4520

Ryzen 5 2500U vs Pentium G4520 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 2500U is faster than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 2500U has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4520. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2500U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4520. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4520 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4520 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 Pentium G4520. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
