Core i5-8600 vs Ryzen 5 7533HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 7533HS is faster than the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 7533HS has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7533HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600. Also, the Ryzen 5 7533HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7533HS outputs less heat than Core i5-8600 thanks to a slightly 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 7533HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600. The Ryzen 5 7533HS also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-8600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
