Ryzen 9 4900H vs Ryzen 9 5900 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 5900 is faster than the Ryzen 9 4900H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 4900H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 9 5900 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 9 4900H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 9 4900H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 4900H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 5900. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 5900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 4900H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 9 5900 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 9 5900 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 9 4900H. The Ryzen 9 5900 also has significantly 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 9 4900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
