Ryzen 7 5800 vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800 beats the Ryzen 5 8500G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 8500G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 5800. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G.

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.
