Core i5-4690K vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D beats the Core i5-4690K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4690K. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-4690K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4690K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4690K CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-4690K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
