Core i5-8600 vs Ryzen 5 240 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8600 beats the Ryzen 5 240 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 240 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 240 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600. Also, the Ryzen 5 240 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 240 outputs less heat than Core i5-8600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 240 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600. The Ryzen 5 240 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 i5-8600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
