Ryzen 9 5900 vs Ryzen 9 5900X benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 5900X beats the Ryzen 9 5900 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 5900 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 9 5900X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 5900. Also, the Ryzen 9 5900X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 5900 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 9 5900X 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and 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 9 5900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
