Ryzen 5 3600X vs Ryzen 7 7730U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 7730U is faster than the Ryzen 5 3600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 7730U has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3600X. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7730U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3600X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3600X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3600X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7730U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7730U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 3600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U.

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.
