Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i5-10500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600H beats the Core i5-10500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-10500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10500. Despite this, the Core i5-10500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-10500 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 5600H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10500. The Ryzen 5 5600H 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 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
