Ryzen 7 5800X vs Ryzen 7 7700 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 7700 is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 7700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X. Also, the Ryzen 7 7700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7700 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 7700 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
