Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i7-1255U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600G is faster than the Core i7-1255U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1255U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1255U has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5600G. Indeed, the Core i7-1255U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5600G. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1255U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 5600G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-1255U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600G has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-1255U.

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 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
