Core i5-8600K vs Ryzen 5 4500 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4500 performs better than the Core i5-8600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8600K in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 4500 has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-8600K and Ryzen 5 4500 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 4500 outputs less heat than Core i5-8600K thanks to a significantly 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 4500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500.
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 i5-8600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
