Ryzen 7 5800H vs Ryzen 9 6900HX comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 6900HX 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.

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 Ryzen 9 6900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800H. Also, the Ryzen 9 6900HX 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. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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.
