Core i7-7800X vs Ryzen 5 5625U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7800X performs better than the Ryzen 5 5625U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5625U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-7800X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5625U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5625U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5625U outputs less heat than Core i7-7800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-7800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
