Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i5-9600K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9600K beats the Ryzen 7 4700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-9600K has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9600K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, the Core i5-9600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600K 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 Ryzen 7 4700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
