Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i5-9600KF benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9600KF is faster than the Ryzen 5 5600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 5600U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9600KF has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5600U. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9600KF. 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.
