Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i9-9900K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9900K performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-9900K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800H. Also, the Core i9-9900K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
