Ryzen 7 5800U vs Core i7-8700 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800U is faster than the Core i7-8700. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more cores than the Core i7-8700. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-8700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. Also, the Core i7-8700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8700 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 5800U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700. The Ryzen 7 5800U also has slightly more 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 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
