Ryzen 7 1700 vs Core i5-8500 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1700 is faster than the Core i5-8500. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 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 i5-8500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8500. According to our data, the Ryzen 7 1700 and Core i5-8500 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 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 Ryzen 7 1700 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500. The Ryzen 7 1700 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 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
