Ryzen 3 3100 vs Core i5-8600K benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8600K is faster than the Ryzen 3 3100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3100 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8600K has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3100 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads than the Core i5-8600K. Both the Ryzen 3 3100 and Core i5-8600K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8600K CPU because of its 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 3 3100 has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600K. 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.
