Ryzen 7 2700 vs Core i5-8500 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 2700 is faster than the Core i5-8500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 2700 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-8500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8500. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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 2700 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500. The Ryzen 7 2700 also has significantly more L3 cache.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
