Tests reveal that AMD's Ryzen 7 5700 is actually slower than the Ryzen 5 5600

Initially released only to OEMs in April 2022, the Ryzen 7 5700 processor from AMD recently became available as a retail product. Hardware Unboxed put this model through its paces and discovered that it only features half the L3 cache from the X version, which affects performance to the point where it even lags behind the more affordable Ryzen 5 5600.
