Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i3-1125G4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600U performs better than the Core i3-1125G4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1125G4 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 i3-1125G4 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1125G4. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-1125G4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
