Core i9-9900 vs Ryzen 5 8600G comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 8600G performs better than the Core i9-9900. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9900 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 8600G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8600G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8600G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9900. 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 8600G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i9-9900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
