Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i3-1115G4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600U performs better than the Core i3-1115G4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1115G4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5600U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-1115G4 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1115G4. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-1115G4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-1115G4 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 5600U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-1115G4. The Ryzen 5 5600U 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 5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
