Core i7-6700 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700 beats the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
