Ryzen 5 5500U vs Ryzen 7 1700 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1700 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 1700 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5500U. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5500U. A Ryzen 5 5500U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU because of its 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 1700 has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500U. The Ryzen 7 1700 also has significantly more 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 5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
