Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i9-10980HK benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 5900HS performs better than the Core i9-10980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10980HK in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 5900HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-10980HK. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-10980HK CPU because of its slightly 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 9 5900HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-10980HK. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
