Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i7-9800X comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9800X is faster than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9800X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Indeed, the Core i7-9800X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5600H. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600H. Also, the Core i7-9800X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9800X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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