Core i5-8600 vs Ryzen 5 7235HS comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8600 performs better than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7235HS in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8600 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7235HS. Indeed, the Core i5-8600 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7235HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7235HS has more threads than the Core i5-8600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7235HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7235HS 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 7235HS has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7235HS.

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.
