We can better compare what are the technical differences between the two processors. The processor AMD Ryzen 7 3700X has a larger number of cores, the maximum frequency of AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is greater, that their respective TDP are of the same order. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X was designed earlier.
Performances :
Performance comparison between the two processors, for this we consider the results generated on benchmark software such as Geekbench 4.
In single core, the difference is 24%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 12%.
Note: Commissions may be earned from the links above. These scores are only an
average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.
CPU-Z is a system information software that provides the name of the processor, its model number, the codename, the cache levels, the package, the process. It can also gives data about the mainboard, the memory. It makes real time measurement, with finally a benchmark for the single thread, as well as for the multi thread.
In single core, the difference is 31%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 7%.

average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.
Cinebench R15 evaluates the performance of CPU calculations by restoring a photorealistic 3D scene. The scene has 2,000 objects, 300,000 polygons, uses sharp and fuzzy reflections, bright areas, shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and so on. The faster the rendering of the scene is created, the more powerful the PC is, with a high number of points.
In single core, the difference is 26%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 7%.

average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.
Cinebench R20 is a multi-platform test software which allows to evaluate the hardware capacities of a device such as a computer, a tablet, a server. This version of Cinebench takes into account recent developments in processors with multiple cores and the latest improvements in rendering techniques. The evaluation is ultimately even more relevant.
In single core, the difference is 26%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 2%.

PassMark is a benchmarking software that performs several performance tests including prime numbers, integers, floating point, compression, physics, extended instructions, encoding, sorting. The higher the score is, the higher is the device capacity.
On Windows 64-bit:
In single core, the difference is 25%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 2%.
On Linux 64-bit:
In single core, the difference is 15%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 2%.
On Mac OS X 64-bit:
In single core, the difference is 67%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 31%.

Geekbench 4 is a complete benchmark platform with several types of tests, including data compression, images, AES encryption, SQL encoding, HTML, PDF file rendering, matrix computation, Fast Fourier Transform, 3D object simulation, photo editing, memory testing. This allows us to better visualize the respective power of these devices. For each result, we took an average of 250 values on the famous benchmark software.
On Windows:
In single core, the difference is 30%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 3%.
On Linux:
In single core, the difference is 32%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 4%.
On macOS:
In single core, the difference is 32%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 7%.

Geekbench 5 is a software for measuring the performance of a computer system, for fixed devices, mobile devices, servers. This platform makes it possible to better compare the power of the CPU, the computing power and to compare it with similar or totally different systems. Geekbench 5 includes new workloads that represent work tasks and applications that we can find in reality.
