Core i5-7600K vs Core i5-8600K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8600K is faster than the Core i5-7600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7600K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8600K has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7600K. Indeed, the Core i5-8600K has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7600K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8600K CPU because of its slightly 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 Core i5-8600K has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7600K. The Core i5-8600K 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 i5-7600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
