Ryzen 7 4800U vs Core i5-9600KF specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 4800U is faster than the Core i5-9600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-9600KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4800U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-9600KF that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9600KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600KF 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 4800U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-9600KF has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U.

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 4800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
