Ryzen 5 5600G vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen Z1 Extreme performs better than the Ryzen 5 5600G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen Z1 Extreme 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 Z1 Extreme. Despite this, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme 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.
