Ryzen 7 2700U vs Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to 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 Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 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 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
