Ryzen 5 1600X vs Ryzen 7 6800H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 6800H is faster than the Ryzen 5 1600X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1600X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 6800H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 1600X. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 1600X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1600X. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 6800H. The Ryzen 7 6800H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 1600X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 6800H has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 1600X. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 1600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
