Ryzen 5 1500X vs Custom 0405 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1500X is faster than the Custom 0405. Despite this, the Custom 0405 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. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Custom 0405. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 1500X 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 5 1500X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
