Ryzen 5 3600 vs Core i5-7600K specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3600 performs better than the Core i5-7600K. 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 3600 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7600K. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3600. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3600 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 3600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7600K. The Ryzen 5 3600 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
