AMD Ryzen 5 5600X vs Intel Core i7-14700HX
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
► remove from comparison
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a desktop processor with 6 SMT-enabled (12 threads) and based on the Zen 3 architecture. Launched in November 2020, it is the fastest 6-core Ryzen desktop processor. With a TDP of 65 watts, the Ryzen 5 5600X is the least energy-hungry model in the Zen 3 family to date.
The Ryzen 5 5600X is clocked at 3.7 GHz base clock and can be clocked up to 4.6 GHz with Precision Boost 2.
Performance
The average 5600X in our database is in the same league as the Ryzen 9 4900H and the Ryzen 7 6800HS, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. While this isn't the fastest CPU money can buy, it still rips through most workloads with ease, as of mid 2022. Find out more in our full review.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 5 series chip has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 65 W to be in line with most desktop processors.
The R5 5600X is built with TSMC's 7 nm process for average, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.
Intel Core i7-14700HX
► remove from comparison
The Intel Core i7-14700HX is a high-end CPU based on the new Raptor Lake architecture for large and heavy notebooks. The CPU was introduced at the beginning of 2024 as part of the Raptor Lake HX refresh. The i7-14700HX is similar to the Core i7-13850HX with slightly higher clocked CPU cores.
The total of 28 threads are divided into P-cores and E-cores, which we already know from Alder Lake. The 14700HX offers 8 performance cores (P-cores) with hyperthreading and 12 efficiency cores (E-cores) without hyperthreading. A total of 28 threads are therefore supported. The P-cores clock at up to 5.5 GHz (single core) and the E-cores up to 3.9 GHz. The integrated memory controller supports a maximum of DDR5 with 5600 MHz.
Compared to Alder Lake, the new Raptor Lake architecture offers improved P-cores (Raptor Cove architecture with more cache), more E-cores (same Gracemont architecture) and higher clock rates thanks to the improved Intel 7 process. Furthermore, Intel now supports faster DDR5 main memory (up to 5600 MHz) in the top models.
The 14700HX is manufactured on the older 10nm FinFET process at Intel (Intel 7 process) and is specified with 55 watts base power and 157 watts turbo power.
