Core i5-7600K vs Ryzen 7 5700X3D comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D performs better than the Core i5-7600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7600K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-7600K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7600K. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-7600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
