Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i5-8600 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 2400G is faster than the Core i5-8600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8600 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-8600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 2400G has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2400G has more threads than the Core i5-8600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 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 2400G has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G.
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 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
