Intel Core i5-6600K vs Intel Core i7-13650HX

Core i5-6600K vs Core i7-13650HX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-13650HX is faster than the Core i5-6600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6600K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-13650HX has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600K. Indeed, the Core i7-13650HX has 14 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-13650HX. Despite this, the Core i7-13650HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-13650HX has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600K. The Core i7-13650HX 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 i5-6600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
