Ryzen 5 5600X vs Ryzen 7 4700U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600X is faster than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600X has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5600X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 4700U outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 5600X thanks to a 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 4700U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U.

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 5600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
