Ryzen 5 3600 vs Core i5-1245U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1245U is faster than the Ryzen 5 3600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3600 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-1245U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3600 has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1245U.

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 3600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
