AMD Ryzen 5 5560U vs AMD Ryzen 5 6600H: Comparison
Ryzen 5 5560U vs Ryzen 5 6600H: the l3 cache difference
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: Ryzen 5 5560U 8 MB against Ryzen 5 6600H 16 MB, which puts Ryzen 5 6600H 50% ahead. There is a split on p-core boost clock as well, 4.0 GHz on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 4.5 GHz on the Ryzen 5 6600H. P-core base clock is not the same on both, 2.3 GHz on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 3.3 GHz on the Ryzen 5 6600H. They differ on tdp too, 15 W on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 45 W on the Ryzen 5 6600H. Configurable tdp floor is not the same on both, 10 W on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 35 W on the Ryzen 5 6600H. They differ on socket too, FP6 on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus FP7 on the Ryzen 5 6600H. There is a split on release year as well, 2021 on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 2022 on the Ryzen 5 6600H. Igpu is not the same on both, AMD Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus AMD Radeon 660M on the Ryzen 5 6600H. Microarchitecture is not the same on both, Zen 3 on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus Zen 3+ on the Ryzen 5 6600H.
Who each one is for
The Ryzen 5 5560U 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. Buy the Ryzen 5 6600H for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is not built for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and integrated graphics read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 12 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the Ryzen 5 5560U and Ryzen 5 6600H differ on base power?
Yes. Base Power reads 15 W on the Ryzen 5 5560U versus 45 W on the Ryzen 5 6600H.
Is the Socket Status the same on the Ryzen 5 5560U and Ryzen 5 6600H?
It is. Both are listed at End of Life, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
