Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i5-8600K comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8600K performs better than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500X in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 3500X and Core i5-8600K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8600K CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-8600K. 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.
