Ryzen 5 3600X vs Core i5-9500 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3600X performs better than the Core i5-9500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3600X has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-9500 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600X thanks to a 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 3600X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9500. The Ryzen 5 3600X also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 3600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
