Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i9-9900KF specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-9900KF beats the Ryzen 5 5600H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9900KF has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Also, the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900KF. 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 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
