Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i5-8500 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600G is faster than the Core i5-8500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500 in all gaming tests too.
Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 5600G has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8500. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600G 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8500. The Ryzen 5 5600G also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
