Core i5-6500 vs Ryzen 5 5600 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600 is faster than the Core i5-6500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 5600 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6500. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600 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 5 5600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6500. The Ryzen 5 5600 also has significantly more L3 cache.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-6500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
