Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i5-7600 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than the Core i5-7600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7600 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 1600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-7600 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1600. Also, the Core i5-7600 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 5 1600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7600. The Ryzen 5 1600 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 5 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
