AMD Ryzen 7 3700U vs Intel Core i5-6600K

Ryzen 7 3700U vs Core i5-6600K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6600K is faster than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3700U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 3700U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U. A Ryzen 7 3700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6600K 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 7 3700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600K. Despite this, the Core i5-6600K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
