Ryzen 5 5600G vs Ryzen 7 8700G comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 8700G beats the Ryzen 5 5600G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600G in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 8700G 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. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8700G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600G. Also, the Ryzen 7 8700G has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 8700G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600G. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
