Ryzen 5 3450U vs Core i7-2600K specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2600K is faster than the Ryzen 5 3450U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3450U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-2600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3450U. Also, the Core i7-2600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3450U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2600K 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.
