Ryzen 7 5800U vs Ryzen 5 8500G benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800U performs better than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 8500G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 8500G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
