Ryzen 5 2600 vs Core i7-9700F comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700F beats the Ryzen 5 2600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2600 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9700F has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 2600 that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2600 has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 2600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 2600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-9700F. The Ryzen 5 2600 also has slightly more L3 cache.
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 2600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
