Core i5-12600K vs Ryzen 5 4500 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12600K is faster than the Ryzen 5 4500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12600K has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 4500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-12600K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4500. Also, the Core i5-12600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 4500 outputs less heat than Core i5-12600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 i5-12600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
