Ryzen 5 5600 vs Core i5-13600KF comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13600KF beats the Ryzen 5 5600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-13600KF has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-13600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-13600KF 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 Core i5-13600KF has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-13600KF.
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 5600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
