Ryzen 5 5500 vs Ryzen 7 5800X
Description
Both models 5500 and 5800X are based on Zen 3 architecture.
Zen 3 uses TSMC’s 7nm process, still uses the AM4 socket and has up yo 32MB of L3 cache per CCX.
Using the multithread performance as a reference, the 5500 gets a score of 373 k points while the 5800X gets 558.4 k points.
Summarizing, the 5800X is 1.5 times faster than the 5500. To get a proper comparison between both models, take a look to the data shown below.

Monothread performance graph
Monothread performance graphics gives the performance vs time. They are useful to measure the time it takes to the CPU to reach the maximum performance.
Usually, CPU's performance will be steady during these tests but if it has a slow frequency strategy, the first samples will show a lower score.

Multithread performance graph
Multithread graphs measure the performance against a heavy load during certain time.
If CPU's TDP doesn't limit the frequency and the machine is properly cooled, performance should remain steady vs time. Otherwise, the performance score will oscillate or decrease over time.
