Core i5-8600 vs Ryzen 5 5625U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5625U is faster than the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 5625U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5625U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 5 5625U 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 5625U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600. The Ryzen 5 5625U 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.
