Ryzen 7 1700 vs Ryzen 7 5800X comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800X 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.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1700. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 1700 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 5800X also has significantly more 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 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
