Ryzen 7 4800H vs Core i7-8850H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 4800H performs better than the Core i7-8850H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8850H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4800H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-8850H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8850H. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 4800H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8850H. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 4800H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8850H. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4800H.

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 7 4800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
