Core i5-8600 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE beats the Core i5-8600 in overall performance. 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 5650GE has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8600. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE 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.
