Ryzen 5 3600X vs Ryzen 5 6600H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 6600H beats the Ryzen 5 3600X in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 6600H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 6600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 6600H outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600X 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. The Ryzen 5 3600X also has significantly more 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 3600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
