Ryzen 5 5600H vs Ryzen 7 1700X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600H performs better than the Ryzen 7 1700X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1700X in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 1700X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5600H has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 1700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 1700X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 1700X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600H. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
