Ryzen 5 5500U vs N100 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500U beats the N100 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N100 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 N100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the N100. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500U has a significantly higher clock speed than the N100. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500U has significantly more L2 cache than the N100. The Ryzen 5 5500U also has slightly more 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 5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
