Ryzen 5 2600X vs Ryzen 7 1800X comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 1800X performs better than the Ryzen 5 2600X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2600X in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 2600X. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1800X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 2600X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2600X. Both the Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 1800X have the same clock 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 2600X. 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 2600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
