Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Ryzen 9 5980HX specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 5980HX beats the Ryzen 7 5800HS in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800HS 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 5980HX has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800HS. A Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 9 5980HX CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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.

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 5800HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
