Core i7-7700K vs Ryzen 5 5500H comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500H beats the Core i7-7700K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700K in all gaming tests too.
Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500H. Also, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500H outputs less heat than Core i7-7700K thanks to a 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 5 5500H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-7700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 Core i7-7700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
