Ryzen 5 4600H vs Core i5-9600K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 4600H performs better than the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 4600H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H. A Ryzen 5 4600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 4600H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4600H.

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 4600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
