Ryzen 5 5500 vs Ryzen 5 5600GT benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600GT performs better than the Ryzen 5 5500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600GT has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600GT 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. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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 5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
