AMD Ryzen 7 2700U vs Intel Core i5-3570

Ryzen 7 2700U vs Core i5-3570 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 2700U beats the Core i5-3570 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-3570 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 2700U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3570 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3570 CPU because of its 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 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
