Ryzen 5 1600 vs Ryzen 5 5600H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600H beats the Ryzen 5 1600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1600 in all gaming tests too.

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 5600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1600. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5600H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600 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 and L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
