Core i7-6700 vs Ryzen 5 9600X comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 9600X is faster than the Core i7-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 9600X has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-6700 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 9600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700. Also, the Ryzen 5 9600X 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 9600X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-6700. The Ryzen 5 9600X also has significantly more L3 cache.
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. Indeed, the Core i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
