Ryzen 5 5600G vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D beats the Ryzen 5 5600G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600G CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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 5800X3D has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5600G. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
