Core i5-8265U vs Ryzen 7 6800H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 6800H is faster than the Core i5-8265U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8265U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 6800H has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-8265U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8265U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. Also, the Ryzen 7 6800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8265U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 6800H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 6800H has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8265U. The Ryzen 7 6800H also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
