Core i5-8600 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G performs better than the Core i5-8600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8600 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-8600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
