Core i5-7600 vs Ryzen 7 5700X specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5700X is faster than the Core i5-7600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7600 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5700X has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-7600 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5700X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7600. The Ryzen 7 5700X 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 i5-7600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
