Ryzen 7 5800U vs Core i7-7700HQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800U is faster than the Core i7-7700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800U has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-7700HQ that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7700HQ. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700HQ has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7700HQ CPU because of its significantly 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 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
