Core i5-13420H vs Ryzen 5 5600GT benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600GT performs better than the Core i5-13420H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-13420H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-13420H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600GT that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13420H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. In terms of cache, the Core i5-13420H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600GT. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600GT has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-13420H.

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 i5-13420H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
