Ryzen 5 1500X vs Core i7-6700 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1500X performs better than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 1500X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 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 1500X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700. The Ryzen 5 1500X also has significantly more L3 cache.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1500X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
