Core i5-11600 vs Ryzen 7 5700X specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5700X performs better than the Core i5-11600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11600 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5700X has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5700X has a slightly higher clock speed than 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700X has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11600. The Ryzen 7 5700X also has significantly more L3 cache.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
