Ryzen 3 5300G vs Core i5-11600K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11600K performs better than the Ryzen 3 5300G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-11600K has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5300G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5300G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11600K. Despite this, the Core i5-11600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-11600K CPU because of its 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 3 5300G has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-11600K. Despite this, the Core i5-11600K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 5300G.

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 5300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
