Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i5-1240P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 1600 beats the Core i5-1240P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 1600. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 1600. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1600. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 1600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 1600 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1240P.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
