Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i7-6850K benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1600 performs better than the Core i7-6850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6850K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6850K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1600. Also, the Core i7-6850K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6850K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-6850K. The Ryzen 5 1600 also has slightly more L3 cache.
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.
