AMD Ryzen 7 5800H vs Intel Core i9-10980HK

Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i9-10980HK benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800H beats the Core i9-10980HK in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10980HK in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number 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 i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5800H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10980HK. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
