Core i5-6600K vs Ryzen 5 7535HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 7535HS 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 Ryzen 5 7535HS has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600K. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7535HS has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7535HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7535HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7535HS outputs less heat than Core i5-6600K 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 7535HS has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600K. The Ryzen 5 7535HS also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-6600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
