Ryzen 3 1200 vs Ryzen 5 5500 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 beats the Ryzen 3 1200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 1200. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 1200. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 1200. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 1200. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 1200. The Ryzen 5 5500 also has significantly more L3 cache.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
