Ryzen 5 5600H vs Ryzen 7 1700 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600H beats the Ryzen 7 1700 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1700 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 1700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1700. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 1700 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5600H. 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 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
