Ryzen 3 3300X vs Core i5-9600 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3300X performs better than the Core i5-9600. Despite this, the Core i5-9600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3300X that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads than the Core i5-9600. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9600. Despite this, the Core i5-9600 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9600. The Ryzen 3 3300X 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 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
