Core i5-6600 vs Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6600 performs better than the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6600. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600. Despite this, the Core i5-6600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
