Overview
SummaryThe AMD Ryzen 5 7500 is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture (5 nm process). It launched in Sep 2026. Clocks run from 3.7 GHz base to 5.0 GHz boost. A 32-MB L3 cache backs the cores (6.4 MB per core). The chip drops into the AM5 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD Ryzen 5 7500 scores 3,813 in single-core performance and 26,882 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 10,124 for overall performance, 22,812 for productivity performance, 21,649 for creator performance, 26,714 for engineering performance and 18,160 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 4,480 per core, 2,240 per thread and 414 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,256. Its performance index is 125, so its overall performance is 25% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 5 7500 scores 78,911 in integer math, 45,058 in floating-point math, 305,134 in compression, 17,735 in cryptography, 1,802 in physics simulation, 23,053 in vector SIMD, 207 in the prime sieve and 36,888 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 34% above in integer math, 2% below in floating-point math, 34% above in compression, 54% above in cryptography, 65% above in physics simulation, 49% above in vector SIMD, 209% above in the prime sieve and 63% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
