Core i5-8600K vs Ryzen 5 7235HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 7235HS is faster than the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8600K has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7235HS that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7235HS has more threads than the Core i5-8600K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7235HS. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7235HS has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7235HS.

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.
