Ryzen 3 3300X vs Ryzen 5 5500H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3300X beats the Ryzen 5 5500H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500H 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 Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500H. Also, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500H outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 3300X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 3 3300X also has significantly more 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 Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
