Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i5-7500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600U is faster than the Core i5-7500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7500 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 i5-7500 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7500 has a significantly 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 i5-7500 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 significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7500. The Ryzen 5 5600U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
