Ryzen 5 1500X vs Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 1500X beats the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 1500X and Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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.
