Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i5-10600 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600G is faster than the Core i5-10600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10600 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-10600. Despite this, the Core i5-10600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 5600G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10600. The Ryzen 5 5600G also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
