Core i5-6600 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6600 is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6600. 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 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U 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 i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
