News and articles for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U and the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U
Comparison of the two processors
This comparison helps you decide whether the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U has sufficient computing power or whether you should rather use the big brother, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U.Both processors came onto the market together in the first quarter of 2021. They are manufactured using the 7 nanometer process and are based on the Zen 2 architecture with the code name Lucienne. The "U" at the end of the processor designation shows that the processors belong to the mobile segment of AMD processor program and therefore also have an internal graphics unit.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U comes from the Ryzen 5 series, has 6 physical cores and supports hyperthreading technology. The processor has a base clock frequency of 2.10 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock is 4.00 gigahertz. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, on the other hand, has 2 more physical cores, i.e. 8 more, and also supports hyperthreading. Here the base clock is 1.80 gigahertz per core and the maximum turbo clock is 4.30 gigahertz.
In terms of performance, this means that the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U is around 10 percent faster with a single core load. There is quite a big difference in the multicore benchmarks, here the Ryzen 7 processor performs 20-40 percent faster.
As already mentioned, both processors have an internal graphics unit. The AMD Radeon Graphics 7 (Renoir) is used in the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U. This graphics unit has 7 execution units with 448 shaders and clocks at up to 1.80 gigahertz. The next larger iGPU, namely the AMD Radeon 8 Graphics (Renoir), is integrated in the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U. This graphics unit has 8 execution units with 512 shaders and clocks at up to 1.90 gigahertz.
The graphics unit of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U has a computing power of 1612 gigaflops, whereas the iGPU of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U has 1946 gigaflops.
