Compare CPUs

Pick two processors (or up to four) and see how they differ in specs, price and performance.

CPU 1

AMDRyzen 5 5500G

CPU 2

IntelCore Ultra 5 245KF

Note. Different sockets (AM4 and LGA1851): they are not interchangeable on the same motherboard. Switching from one to the other means changing the motherboard.

Warning. Different memory types between the CPUs (DDR4 and DDR5): the RAM from one will not work with the other.

Note. Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF does not include integrated graphics: you need a dedicated graphics card.

Specifications

We highlight the best value in each row with a soft background. A higher or lower value does not mean the processor is better for you: it depends on how you use it.

Still to be verified on the official spec sheet: Ryzen 5 5500G (Base and boost frequencies, PCIe version, Integrated graphics, Release date (month), Maximum temperature (Tjmax), PCIe lanes); Core Ultra 5 245KF (PCIe version and lanes, Maximum temperature (Tjmax)).

Performance

Scores from 0 to 100 calculated from sourced benchmarks. If there is no real data, nothing is shown.

There are no sourced benchmarks for these CPUs yet

To avoid making up data, the gaming, productivity, single-core, multi-core and efficiency scores will appear once you load real results in src/data/benchmarks.ts, citing the source of each one.

Price and performance

Relative performance (in games) divided by the current price. It is a figure to interpret, not a verdict.

The price/performance chart needs a price and benchmarks

It is drawn automatically once the CPU has a dated price (src/data/prices.ts) and performance scores.
