Ryzen 9 5900HS vs Core i9-9820X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 5900HS performs better than the Core i9-9820X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9820X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9820X has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 9 5900HS that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 9 5900HS. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9820X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 5900HS. A Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9820X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 5900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
