Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i7-1355U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1355U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 1600 that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-1355U has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 1600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 1600 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-1355U.

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 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
