Ryzen 9 6900HS vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 6900HS performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 6900HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G 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 9 6900HS has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G. 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 9 6900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
