Intel® Core™ i5-10600

The Intel Core i5-10600 is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Comet Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Apr 2020. Clocks run from 3.3 GHz base to 4.8 GHz boost. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1200 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core i5-10600 scores 2,907 in single-core performance and 13,524 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,270 for overall performance, 12,860 for productivity performance, 12,671 for creator performance, 13,439 for engineering performance and 12,102 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,254 per core, 1,127 per thread and 208 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 778. Its performance index is 78, so its overall performance is 22% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-10600 scores 46,289 in integer math, 28,491 in floating-point math, 213,964 in compression, 4,864 in cryptography, 755 in physics simulation, 13,010 in vector SIMD, 36 in the prime sieve and 25,662 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 21% below in integer math, 38% below in floating-point math, 6% below in compression, 58% below in cryptography, 31% below in physics simulation, 16% below in vector SIMD, 46% below in the prime sieve and 13% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-10600 has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and boosts up to 4.80 GHz.
