Ryzen 7 5800 vs Core i5-13600K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13600K beats the Ryzen 7 5800 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 7 5800 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13600K. Despite this, the Core i5-13600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-13600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 5800 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 5800 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
