Ryzen 7 1800X vs Ryzen 7 5700X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5700X performs better than the Ryzen 7 1800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1800X in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X. The Ryzen 7 5700X outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1800X thanks to a 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 5700X 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 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
