Ryzen 7 5800X vs Ryzen 7 260 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 260 beats the Ryzen 7 5800X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X 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. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X. Also, the Ryzen 7 260 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 260 outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5800X thanks to a 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 7 260 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 260.
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 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
