Ryzen 5 5600 vs Ryzen 7 8845HS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8845HS is faster than the Ryzen 5 5600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 8845HS has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5600 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8845HS outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 5600 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 8845HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 8845HS.

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 5600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
