AMD Ryzen 7 4700U vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800H: Comparison
What is the difference between Ryzen 7 4700U and Ryzen 7 5800H?
On l3 cache the spread is 50%, Ryzen 7 4700U 8 MB against Ryzen 7 5800H 16 MB, so Ryzen 7 5800H takes it. There is a split on release year as well, 2020 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus 2021 on the Ryzen 7 5800H. There is a split on igpu as well, AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus AMD Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 7 5800H. Microarchitecture is not the same on both, Zen 2, Ryzen 4000 Series "Renoir" on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus Zen 3 on the Ryzen 7 5800H. They differ on smt enabled too, No on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus Yes on the Ryzen 7 5800H.
Which should you buy, Ryzen 7 4700U or Ryzen 7 5800H?
Take the Ryzen 7 4700U for ultraportable laptops wanting 8 physical cores at a lower price point than the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U. It is not the one for buyers specifically wanting maximum multi-threaded ceiling, the SMT-equipped Ryzen 7 4800U handles that better despite the same core count. Take the Ryzen 7 5800H for high-performance gaming laptops wanting genuine Zen 3 architecture with strong single- and multi-thread performance. It is the wrong buy for buyers on the tightest budget, the Ryzen 5 5600H offers similar core architecture at a lower price with reduced core count.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, integrated graphics and socket included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 5 further specifications as well.
