Core i7-6600U vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE beats the Core i7-6600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6600U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-6600U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6600U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6600U. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6600U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
