In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5700G has slightly more cores than the Core i5-8600K. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700G has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8600K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600K. Also, the Ryzen 7 5700G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8600K 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 5700G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8600K. The Ryzen 7 5700G also has significantly 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 5700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
