Ryzen 5 5600G vs Core i7-10870H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600G performs better than the Core i7-10870H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10870H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10870H 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10870H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 5600G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-10870H. 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.
