Core i5-9600K vs Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9600K is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. The Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U.

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