Core i9-9900 vs Ryzen 5 6600H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9900 performs better than the Ryzen 5 6600H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 6600H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9900 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 6600H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 6600H. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 6600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9900. Despite this, the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 6600H outputs less heat than Core i9-9900 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 6600H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i9-9900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
