Ryzen 5 5500 vs Ryzen 5 5500GT comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5500 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500GT in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5500GT has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Both the Ryzen 5 5500 and Ryzen 5 5500GT have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a slightly higher turbo 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
