Ryzen 5 5600U vs Core i7-9850H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9850H beats the Ryzen 5 5600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9850H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U. Also, the Core i7-9850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9850H 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 5 5600U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9850H. The Ryzen 5 5600U also has slightly more 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 5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
