Intel Core i5-9600 vs AMD Ryzen 3 4100

Core i5-9600 vs Ryzen 3 4100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 4100 is faster than the Core i5-9600. Despite this, the Core i5-9600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 4100 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4100 has more threads than the Core i5-9600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9600. Despite this, the Core i5-9600 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 3 4100 has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9600. Despite this, the Core i5-9600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4100.

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 i5-9600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
