Core i5-9600K vs Ryzen 5 5625U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5625U performs better than the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5625U. Also, the Core i5-9600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5625U outputs less heat than Core i5-9600K 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 5625U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9600K. The Ryzen 5 5625U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-9600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
