Ryzen 5 2600 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 2600 is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 2600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 2600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 2600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
