Ryzen 7 5800U vs Core i5-9600 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800U performs better than the Core i5-9600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more cores than the Core i5-9600. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. Also, the Core i5-9600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9600 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 5800U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9600. The Ryzen 7 5800U 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 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
