Ryzen 5 5600G vs Ryzen 7 1800X specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600G beats the Ryzen 7 1800X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1800X in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5600G has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1800X. A Ryzen 5 5600G CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 1800X 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 1800X has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5600G. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
