Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i7-5960X benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800H performs better than the Core i7-5960X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5960X 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 5800H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5960X. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-5960X CPU because of its 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 5800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
