Core i5-6600 vs Ryzen 5 5625U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5625U beats the Core i5-6600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6600 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5625U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-6600 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5625U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5625U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5625U outputs less heat than Core i5-6600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5625U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6600. The Ryzen 5 5625U also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
