Ryzen 5 6600H vs Core 5 120U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 6600H beats the Core 5 120U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 5 120U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 6600H that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 6600H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 6600H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 6600H has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core 5 120U.

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 6600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
