Ryzen 5 2500U vs Pentium Gold G5400 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G5400 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 2500U has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G5400 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G5400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G5400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2500U. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 2500U has more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G5400. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
