Ryzen 7 4800H vs Ryzen 5 5500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500 performs better than the Ryzen 7 4800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4800H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 4800H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4800H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4800H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4800H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU because of its 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 4800H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 5500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4800H.

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