Ryzen 7 5800U vs Ryzen 5 5600 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600 performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5600. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5600. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600 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 5600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U.

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.
