Ryzen 5 5600 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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. The Ryzen 5 5600 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 5600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
