Ryzen 7 5700 vs Ryzen 7 260 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5700 is faster than the Ryzen 7 260. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 260 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 7 260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700. Also, the Ryzen 7 260 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 260 outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 260 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5700. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 7 5700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
