Ryzen 5 3600X vs Core i7-3770 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3600X performs better than the Core i7-3770. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 3600X has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-3770 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3770. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3770. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-3770 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600X thanks to a slightly 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 i7-3770. The Ryzen 5 3600X 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 3600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
