Core i7-8700T vs Ryzen 5 5600GT specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600GT is faster than the Core i7-8700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700T 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. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5600GT CPU because of its 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 5 5600GT has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8700T. The Ryzen 5 5600GT also has slightly 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
