Ryzen 5 8600G vs Core Ultra 5 245K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 5 245K is faster than the Ryzen 5 8600G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 8600G in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 5 245K has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 8600G. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 245K has 14 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 8600G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8600G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 8600G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 245K. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 245K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 245K has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 8600G. The Core Ultra 5 245K 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 8600G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
