Where Each One Wins

The use-case split follows the benchmark results closely. The Ryzen AI 9 365 is the clear choice for heavily threaded workloads. Its 10 cores and 20 threads give it a structural advantage over the 6 cores and 12 threads of the Ryzen 5 5600GT. Compression, encryption, integer math, floating point math, physics simulation, and extended instruction workloads all favor the Ryzen AI 9 365 by double-digit margins. The 42% lead in Geekbench multicore and the 31% lead in PassMark multithread indicate that rendering, video encoding, and other parallel tasks will run noticeably faster on the Ryzen AI 9 365.

The Ryzen 5 5600GT has one clear strength: Cinebench R23 singlecore. Its 22.4% advantage in that test suggests that certain lightly threaded applications that rely on this specific benchmark profile may run better on the older chip. However, that result stands alone. Every other single-threaded measurement in the database, including Cinebench R15 singlecore, Geekbench singlecore, and PassMark single thread, goes to the Ryzen AI 9 365. The Ryzen 5 5600GT also has a much lower average benchmark score: 20733 versus 40048, so it cannot claim an overall performance edge in any broad category.

For memory bandwidth, the Ryzen AI 9 365 records 89.6 GB/s against 51.2 GB/s for the Ryzen 5 5600GT. That bandwidth advantage supports the mobile chip's stronger results in data-heavy workloads like compression and random string sorting. The Ryzen 5 5600GT uses DDR4 memory while the Ryzen AI 9 365 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, which explains part of the bandwidth gap. The Ryzen AI 9 365 also uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes compared to PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes on the Ryzen 5 5600GT, which matters for storage and external GPU throughput.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different generations and target different market segments. The Ryzen 5 5600GT is a Zen 3 desktop part with the codename Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC.
