Ryzen 5 2600X vs Core i7-11700K specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-11700K performs better 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-11700K has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 2600X that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2600X. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 2600X and Core i7-11700K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-11700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2600X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11700K CPU because of its slightly 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 Core i7-11700K has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 2600X. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 2600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
