Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i7-8565U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700U beats the Core i7-8565U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8565U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5700U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-8565U. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-8565U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8565U. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 7 5700U and Core i7-8565U are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 5700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8565U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
