The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.90 GHz (4.40 GHz). The processor can compute 12 threads at the same time. The Intel Core i5-11400 clocks with 2.60 GHz (4.40 GHz), has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 12 threads in parallel.
Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.
Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.
A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.

The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.
In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

Efficiency of the processor under full load in the Cinebench R23 (multi-core) benchmark. The benchmark result is divided by the average energy required (CPU package power in watts). The higher the value, the more efficient the CPU is under full load.
Not only did these two desktop processors both launch in 2021, they are also built very similarly. Both processors have 6 cores and support Hyperthreading, giving you 12 threads at your disposal. At 3.90 gigahertz, the base clock of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is significantly higher than that of the Intel Core i5-11400, where it is 2.60 gigahertz. The maximum turbo clock is identical, this is 4.40 gigahertz for both. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G can also be overclocked, which is not possible with the Intel Core i5-11400.
The performance of the two processors is also quite similar, but according to our benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is almost 10 percent faster than the Intel Core i5-11400.
An internal graphics unit is used in both processors. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is equipped with the AMD Radeon 7 Graphics (Renoir). This iGPU has a fixed clock frequency of 1.90 gigahertz and has 7 execution units with a total of 448 shader units. The Intel UHD Graphics 730 is integrated in the Intel Core i5-11400, which clocks at up to 1.30 gigahertz and has 24 execution units with a total of 192 shader units.
Based on the P32 processing power (single precision), one can see that the AMD graphics is significantly faster than the iGPU of the Intel processor. The AMD Radeon Graphics 7 achieves 1702 GigaFLOPS here, while the Intel UHD Graphics 730 achieves just 499 GigaFLOPS.
Both processors support DDR4-3200 type RAM with their 2 memory channels. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G can run a maximum of 64 gigabytes of RAM, while the Intel Core i5-11400 supports twice the amount of RAM with 128 gigabytes. ECC memory, i.e. memory with automatic error correction, is not supported by the two processors.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G has 24 PCIe lines (type 3.0) and the Intel Core i5-11400 has 20 PCIe lines (type 4.0) for connecting a dedicated graphics card or other expansion cards.
