Core i5-9600K vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U is faster than the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-9600K that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Also, the Core i5-9600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U 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 7 PRO 5850U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600K. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U 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.
