Core i5-12490F vs Ryzen 5 8600G specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8600G beats the Core i5-12490F in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12490F in all gaming tests too.
Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8600G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12490F. Also, the Ryzen 5 8600G 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 Core i5-12490F has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 8600G. The Core i5-12490F 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 i5-12490F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
