Ryzen 7 2700U vs Core i5-7500T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 2700U beats the Core i5-7500T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7500T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 2700U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7500T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7500T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 2700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7500T. Despite this, the Core i5-7500T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U.

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 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
