Ryzen 5 5500U vs Ryzen 7 5800H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800H beats the Ryzen 5 5500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5500U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800H has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5500U. A Ryzen 5 5500U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800H has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500U. The Ryzen 7 5800H 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
