Ryzen 5 5500U vs Core i7-6600U benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500U performs better than the Core i7-6600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6600U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-6600U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6600U. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6600U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
