Processors

[Agazi]

The 5600GT is more expensive but it seems that the 5500GT is a better processor in power (a little but more in the end).
What am I missing that I don't see, so that a more expensive processor is worse?

I apologize for the bad translation

The 5500GT/5600GT are fairly new processors. Whatever that "CPU Mark" score is, there are likely not many user sample comparisons to get a true indication which performs better. Being that the ONLY specification difference in those processors is that the 5600GT has a 200MHz higher boost clock, it should be slightly better performing when comparing to the 5500GT in an otherwise identical system.

Note that both the 5500GT/5600GT are based on the Cezanne architecture compared to similarly-priced Vermeer processors such as the 5600/5600X. While Cezanne is capable of higher IMC clocks, Vermeer has twice as much L3 cache and supports PCIe 4.0

The score is not only on a single page, I have reviewed about 5 and in all the 5500GT it beats the 5600GT by 1-5%, that's why I still haven't found an answer about the highest price of the 5600GT
