Ryzen 3 3100 vs Core i5-7600K specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3100 performs better than the Core i5-7600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7600K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3100. Also, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7600K CPU because of its slightly 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 3 3100 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7600K. The Ryzen 3 3100 also has significantly more 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 Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
