Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i5-10600KF comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 5900HS beats the Core i5-10600KF in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10600KF in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 9 5900HS has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-10600KF that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10600KF. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-10600KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 5900HS. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-10600KF 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 9 5900HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-10600KF. The Ryzen 9 5900HS also has slightly 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 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
