AMD Ryzen 7 4800U vs Intel Core i5-8250U

Ryzen 7 4800U vs Core i5-8250U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 4800U is faster than the Core i5-8250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8250U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4800U has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-8250U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8250U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 4800U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8250U. Also, the Ryzen 7 4800U 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 4800U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8250U. The Ryzen 7 4800U also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
