Ryzen 5 3400G vs Core i5-9600K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9600K is faster than the Ryzen 5 3400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3400G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9600K has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3400G that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3400G has more threads than the Core i5-9600K. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 3400G and Core i5-9600K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3400G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3400G has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3400G.

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 3400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
