Core i5-8600K vs Ryzen 5 5625U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5625U performs better than the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 5625U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5625U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 5 5625U 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 5625U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600K. The Ryzen 5 5625U 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 i5-8600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
