Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i7-6700K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700K beats the Ryzen 5 2400G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400G in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Also, the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 2400G has more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700K. Despite this, the Core i7-6700K 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.
