Ryzen 7 1700 vs Core i5-10500T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 1700 beats the Core i5-10500T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-10500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 1700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-10500T that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10500T. Despite this, the Core i5-10500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10500T outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1700 thanks to a 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 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
