Ryzen 5 3600XT vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U is faster than the Ryzen 5 3600XT. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3600XT. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3600XT. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3600XT. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 3600XT thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 3600XT. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600XT has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U.

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 3600XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
