Ryzen 5 3550H vs Core i5-7600 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3550H is faster than the Core i5-7600. Despite this, the Core i5-7600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 5 3550H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7600. Despite this, the Core i5-7600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H.

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 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
