Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i7-9800X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9800X beats the Ryzen 7 5800H in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9800X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
