Ryzen 5 5500U vs Core i7-6850K benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500U performs better than the Core i7-6850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6850K in all gaming tests too.
Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6850K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500U. A Ryzen 5 5500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6850K 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 5500U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6850K. Despite this, the Core i7-6850K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 5500U.
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.
