Ryzen 7 6800H vs Ryzen 5 5500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 6800H is faster than the Ryzen 5 5500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 6800H has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 6800H. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 6800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 6800H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 5500 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 6800H has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5500. 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 6800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
