Core i5-11600 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G is faster than the Core i5-11600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11600 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G 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.
