Ryzen 5 5600X vs Ryzen 7 4800U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600X is faster than the Ryzen 7 4800U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4800U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4800U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 4800U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4800U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U.

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