Ryzen 7 4800U vs Core i5-8500 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 4800U performs better than the Core i5-8500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 4800U has slightly more cores than the Core i5-8500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4800U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8500 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 4800U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8500. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U.
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 4800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
