Ryzen 5 5600X vs Athlon X4 870K benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600X performs better than the Athlon X4 870K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 870K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 5600X has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Athlon X4 870K that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon X4 870K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 870K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600X CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 870K 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 Athlon X4 870K has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X
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 5600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
