Ryzen 5 5500 vs Ryzen 5 6600H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 6600H performs better than the Ryzen 5 5500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 6600H. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches 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.
