Core i7-8700 vs Ryzen 5 5600GT specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600GT beats the Core i7-8700 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700 in all gaming tests too.
Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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 5600GT has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700. The Ryzen 5 5600GT also has slightly 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. Indeed, the Core i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
