AMD Ryzen 5 5560U vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600HS: Comparison
Ryzen 5 5560U vs Ryzen 5 5600HS: the l3 cache difference
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: Ryzen 5 5560U 8 MB against Ryzen 5 5600HS 16 MB, which puts Ryzen 5 5600HS 50% ahead. P-core boost clock is not the same on both, 4.0 GHz on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 4.2 GHz on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. They differ on p-core base clock too, 2.3 GHz on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 3.0 GHz on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. There is a split on tdp as well, 15 W on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 35 W on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. Configurable tdp floor is not the same on both, 10 W on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 35 W on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. They differ on base power too, 15 W on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 35 W on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. There is a split on memory type as well, DDR4, LPDDR4X on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus DDR4 - Up to 3200 , LPDDR4 - Up... on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. Igpu compute units is not the same on both, 6 on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 7 on the Ryzen 5 5600HS.
Which should you buy, Ryzen 5 5560U or Ryzen 5 5600HS?
The Ryzen 5 5560U is the one to take for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is not the pick for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads. The Ryzen 5 5600HS suits mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is the wrong buy for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads.
Where the two are identical
The common ground is wider than the gap: total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and integrated graphics are identical here. They match on 15 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Socket the same on the Ryzen 5 5560U and Ryzen 5 5600HS?
It is. Both are listed at FP6, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
