AMD Ryzen 5 3450U vs Intel Core i5-6600T

Ryzen 5 3450U vs Core i5-6600T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6600T is faster than the Ryzen 5 3450U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3450U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3450U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3450U. A Ryzen 5 3450U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6600T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3450U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
