Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i5-7600K benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500X beats the Core i5-7600K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7600K in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7600K. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500X has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500X. Also, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7600K 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 Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7600K. The Ryzen 5 3500X 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
