Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i5-9600KF benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9600KF performs better than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400G in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-9600KF 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 i5-9600KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600KF 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 2400G has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-9600KF has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G.

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 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
