Ryzen 5 2600X vs Core i5-8600K benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8600K is faster than the Ryzen 5 2600X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2600X in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 2600X has more threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 2600X and Core i5-8600K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 2600X has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600K. The Ryzen 5 2600X also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 2600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
