Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i5-8600K comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600U performs better than the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K 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 5600U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U. Also, the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8600K 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 5600U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8600K. The Ryzen 5 5600U 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 5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
