Ryzen 5 3600XT vs Core i9-9820X benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9820X is faster than the Ryzen 5 3600XT. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9820X has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3600XT that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3600XT. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9820X. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3600XT CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9820X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3600XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
