In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 2700X has slightly more cores than the Core i5-11600. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11600. Despite this, the Core i5-11600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11600 outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 2700X thanks to a 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 7 2700X has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11600. The Ryzen 7 2700X also has slightly 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 7 2700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
