Core i5-11600 vs Ryzen 5 5500 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11600 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500 in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11600. Despite this, the Core i5-11600 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 5 5500 also has slightly more L3 cache.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-11600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
