Ryzen 5 8500G vs Ryzen Z1 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen Z1 is faster than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 8500G in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen Z1. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen Z1 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 8500G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 8500G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
