AMD Ryzen 5 5600H vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600HS: Comparison

Ryzen 5 5600H vs Ryzen 5 5600HS p-core base clock compared

P-core base clock is the dividing line, Ryzen 5 5600H 3.3 GHz against Ryzen 5 5600HS 3.0 GHz. They differ on tdp too, 45 W on the Ryzen 5 5600H versus 35 W on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. They differ on product line too, Ryzen 5 on the Ryzen 5 5600H versus Ryzen on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. There is a split on form factor as well, Laptop on the Ryzen 5 5600H versus Laptops, Desktops on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. They differ on base power too, 45 W on the Ryzen 5 5600H versus 35 W on the Ryzen 5 5600HS. There is a split on memory type as well, DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-4266 on the Ryzen 5 5600H versus DDR4 - Up to 3200 , LPDDR4 - Up... on the Ryzen 5 5600HS.

Who each one is for

Take the Ryzen 5 5600H for mid-range gaming laptops wanting genuine Zen 3 single-thread performance without paying for the full 8-core Ryzen 7 5800H. It is the wrong buy for content creators needing maximum multi-threaded throughput, the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800H handles that better. The Ryzen 5 5600HS is the one to take 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

The common ground is wider than the gap: total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and p-core boost clock are identical here. They match on 19 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Configurable TDP Floor the same on the Ryzen 5 5600H and Ryzen 5 5600HS?

It is. Both are listed at 35 W, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.

    Which one should you pick?

    Choose 5600H if you want the higher L2 cache (3 MB vs 3 MB), the higher L3 cache (16 MB vs 16 MB) and the higher memory channels (2 vs 2).

    Choose 5600HS if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
