Core i9-10980HK vs Ryzen 7 6800HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-10980HK performs better than the Ryzen 7 6800HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 6800HS in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800HS outputs less heat than Core i9-10980HK thanks to a slightly 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 6800HS has more L2 cache than the Core i9-10980HK. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Core i9-10980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
