Core i9-9900KF vs Ryzen 5 6600H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9900KF 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 i9-9900KF 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 Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 6600H. Also, the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 6600H outputs less heat than Core i9-9900KF thanks to a 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 6600H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-9900KF. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i9-9900KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
