Ryzen 7 5700G vs Core i5-12600K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12600K beats the Ryzen 7 5700G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5700G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12600K has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5700G that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5700G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12600K. Despite this, the Core i5-12600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 5700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
