Bottom line: how fast is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H?

For local LLM inference it generates 18.5 tokens/sec running llama3:7b at q4_K_M under ollama, per Phoronix. In PassMark CPU Mark it scores 16,442 pts, per PassMark. Across all its cores it scores 11,200 pts in Cinebench R23 multi, per Tom's Hardware.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is a processor from the Zen 3 family released in 2021 from AMD. Key on-paper specs include 6 cores / 12 threads, boost clock of 4.2 GHz, 45W TDP. Data on this page draws on 19 synthetic benchmark results (top 10 shown), 1 community AI inference report, 8 measured game frame-rate results, compiled from Notebookcheck, Phoronix, TechTeamGB, Tom's Hardware, GadgetVersus, Geekbench Browser, HardwareDB, PassMark, Puget Systems, technical.city, TechPowerUp, TechSpot, UltrabookReview; each table row links to its source. Read this page when shopping the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, comparing it against other processors in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (gaming at 1080p/1440p/4K, synthetic benchmark scores, or local LLM inference).

Gaming Performance (measured FPS)

Average and 1% low frame rates by game, resolution, and quality preset. Bars are scaled against the fastest result on this page.

Measured gaming frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H by game, resolution, and quality preset. “1% low” is the frame-time floor that determines perceived smoothness. A CPU’s frame rate depends on the graphics card it was tested with, named in the Test GPU column when the source records it. Each row links to its original review or benchmark database.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
