AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U vs Intel Core i3-1215U

Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U vs Core i3-1215U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1215U is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-1215U.

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 PRO 5650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
