Ryzen 5 5560U vs Ryzen 5 8500G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8500G beats the Ryzen 5 5560U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5560U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5560U. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5560U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 8500G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 8500G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5560U. The Ryzen 5 8500G also has significantly 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 5560U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
