Ryzen 7 1800X vs Ryzen 7 5800X specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800X beats the Ryzen 7 1800X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1800X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1800X. A Ryzen 7 1800X CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. 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 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
