Core i5-6600K vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3350GE specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350GE performs better than the Core i5-6600K. Despite this, the Core i5-6600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350GE has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350GE. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350GE has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600K. Despite this, the Core i5-6600K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350GE.

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