Ryzen 7 5800U vs Ryzen 5 5500GT specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800U beats the Ryzen 5 5500GT in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500GT has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800U has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has 8 cores compared to 3 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500GT. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500GT. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500GT CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5500GT. 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 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
