Ryzen 7 5800 vs Core i7-11800H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800 is faster than the Core i7-11800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11800H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5800 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i7-11800H outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5800 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 5800 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
