Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i5-9500T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 1600 beats the Core i5-9500T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 1600 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 1600 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9500T. Despite this, the Core i5-9500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9500T 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.

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.
