Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i5-9600KF specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600H performs better than the Core i5-9600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-9600KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600KF. The Ryzen 5 5600H 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 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
