Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i5-6600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6600 beats the Ryzen 3 2200G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200G 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 3 2200G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6600. Despite this, the Core i5-6600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 3 2200G has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600. Despite this, the Core i5-6600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2200G.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
