Core i5-8600 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8600 is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G 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 PRO 3350G. Indeed, the Core i5-8600 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has more threads than the Core i5-8600. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G.

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.
