In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 4800HS has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6700HQ. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4800HS has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-6700HQ. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700HQ. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 4800HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700HQ. Also, the Ryzen 7 4800HS 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.

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