Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i5-11400F specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600G performs better than the Core i5-11400F. Despite this, the Core i5-11400F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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 more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
