Ryzen 7 2700U vs Ryzen 5 7520U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7520U performs better than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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.
