Ryzen 5 5500 vs Ryzen 7 6800HS benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 beats the Ryzen 7 6800HS in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 6800HS in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 6800HS has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800HS has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 6800HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 6800HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800HS outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 5500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 6800HS has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5500. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 Ryzen 5 5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
