Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Core i9-11980HK comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800HS performs better than the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK 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 Ryzen 7 5800HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-11980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-11980HK CPU because of its slightly 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 5800HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
