Intel Core i5-7600K vs AMD Custom 0405

Core i5-7600K vs Custom 0405 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Custom 0405 performs better than the Core i5-7600K. Despite this, the Core i5-7600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Custom 0405 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Custom 0405. In terms of cache, the Custom 0405 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7600K. Despite this, the Core i5-7600K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Custom 0405.

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.
