Ryzen 5 1600X vs Ryzen 7 1800X specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 1800X performs better than the Ryzen 5 1600X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1600X in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 1600X that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1600X. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 5 1600X and Ryzen 7 1800X are identical in this regard. 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 1600X. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 1600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
