Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i9-9900 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600U performs better than the Core i9-9900. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9900 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-9900 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5600U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U. Also, the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900 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 i9-9900. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
