Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i5-3210M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600U is faster than the Core i5-3210M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3210M 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 i5-3210M that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3210M. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3210M has a slightly higher clock speed than 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 i5-3210M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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