AMD Ryzen 5 5600G vs Intel Core i7-10700

Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i7-10700 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10700 performs better than the Ryzen 5 5600G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10700. Despite this, the Core i7-10700 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 5600G has more L2 cache than the Core i7-10700. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
