Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i7-8086K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600H is faster than the Core i7-8086K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8086K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8086K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600H. Also, the Core i7-8086K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8086K CPU because of its 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 5600H has more L2 cache than the Core i7-8086K. The Ryzen 5 5600H also has slightly 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.
