Ryzen 5 3600 vs Core i7-9700K specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700K performs better than the Ryzen 5 3600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3600 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9700K has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3600 that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600 has more threads than the Core i7-9700K. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 3600 and Core i7-9700K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700K 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 3600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. 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.
