Ryzen 5 3600 vs Core i7-2600 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3600 performs better than the Core i7-2600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2600 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 i7-2600. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-2600. It also has more threads than the Core i7-2600. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2600. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
