Ryzen 5 2400GE vs Core i7-6700K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700K is faster than the Ryzen 5 2400GE. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400GE 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 i7-6700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 2400GE. Also, the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400GE 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400GE has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700K. Despite this, the Core i7-6700K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 2400GE.

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