Ryzen 5 5600H vs Ryzen 5 5500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 beats the Ryzen 5 5600H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600H in all gaming tests too.

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 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 and L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
