Intel vs ryzen11/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It shouldn't be hard to find an air or liquid CPU cooler to keep the Ryzen 5 3600X or Core i5-9600K's operating temperatures under control. Our tests show that a stock Core i5-9600K can pull up to 119W with extreme workloads. Intel measures the TDP at the base clock, so the Core i5-9600K's power draw is slightly higher. The Ryzen 5 3600X and Core i5-9600K feature a 95W TDP (thermal design power). If you plan to do a fair bit of overclocking, you'll have a lot of fun with the Core i5-9600K. Intel's overclocking superiority is hard to beat. The overclock bumps the chip's power consumption up to 179W under heavy load. We managed to overclock our sample to 5 GHz on all six cores with a 1.36V Vcore and auto Load-Line Calibration (LLC) settings. However, the hexa-core processor comes equipped with a 4.3 GHz all-core boost clock. Intel advertises the Core i5-9600K with a 4.6 GHz single-core clock. Overclocking all cores to a static frequency increases performance in multi-threaded workloads, but you sacrifice lightly-threaded performance. Based on our experiences with the Ryzen 5 3600X, you're better off letting AMD's Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) feature do its job. The Ryzen 5 3600X has a 4.4 GHz single-core boost clock and the all-core frequency is around 200 MHz to 300 MHz lower the single-core value. With Intel on the brink of abandoning the LGA1151 socket, it surely isn't worth it to buy an Intel 300-series motherboard if you're interested in future-proofing. This won't change until more budget-friendly AMD 500-series chipsets come to market. X570 motherboards cost a little bit more than Z370 and Z390 motherboards due to support for new features, like PCIe 4.0. AMD, on the other hand, says it will support the AM4 socket until 2020, meaning we could see one more wave of processors on the socket before the chipmaker transitions to a new one. Reports point to Intel introducing the a new LGA1200 socket for upcoming Comet Lake desktop chips, so the LGA1151 socket already has one foot inside the retirement home. If you're interested in future-proofing, investing in a LGA1151 motherboard isn't a wise decision right now. Intel offers multiple chipsets for different needs, but assuming you want to pair the Core i5-9600K with a capable enthusiast board, the starting price for Z370 and Z390 motherboards begins around $115. Unlike the Ryzen 5 3600, the Core i5-9600K won't work on motherboards that aren't built around the Intel 300-series chipset. The Core i5-9600K drops into the LGA1151 socket. X570 motherboards, which start at $145, are the only PCIe 4.0 option at the moment until motherboard manufacturers start rolling out the budget 500-series motherboards. However, building a system around a pre-X570 motherboard means you lose out on PCIe 4.0 functionality. With the adequate firmware, the Ryzen 5 3600X will work on AMD 300-and 400-series motherboards. The Ryzen 5 3600X has great backward compatibility with prior AM4 motherboards. It's only weak point is the absence of an iGPU, so the conversation stops there if you aren't planning on using a discrete graphics card. The hexa-core processor offers more threads, 元 cache and support for the PCIe 4.0 interface and DDR4-3200 memory sticks. The Ryzen 5 3600X comes a much more generous featureset. Intel has implemented the UHD Graphics 630 iGPU inside the Core i5-9600K as well as a dual-channel memory controller with DDR4-2933 support. The Core i5-9600K checks in with a 3.7 GHz base clock and a 4.6 GHz single-core boost clock. While it does have six cores, the Core i5-9600K doesn't come with Hyper-Threading, which limits the chip to six threads. The Core i5-9600K, which is based on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture, hails from Intel's 14nm manufacturing process.
