Ryzen 5 1600X vs Core i9-8950HK specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1600X performs better than the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
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 Ryzen 5 1600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-8950HK. The Core i9-8950HK outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600X thanks to a 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 1600X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-8950HK. The Ryzen 5 1600X also has slightly 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 1600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
