In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 6800HS Creator Edition has slightly more cores than the Core i5-9500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800HS Creator Edition has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800HS Creator Edition has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800HS Creator Edition has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9500. The Ryzen 7 6800HS Creator Edition also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
