AMD Ryzen 7 4700U vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800U: Comparison
Ryzen 7 4700U vs Ryzen 7 5800U: the l3 cache difference
L3 cache is where these two genuinely part company, Ryzen 7 4700U 8 MB against Ryzen 7 5800U 16 MB, a 50% lead for Ryzen 7 5800U. Igpu is not the same on both, AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus AMD Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 7 5800U. 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 5800U. There is a split on smt enabled as well, No on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus Yes on the Ryzen 7 5800U. There is a split on memory type as well, DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-4266 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus DDR4, LPDDR4 on the Ryzen 7 5800U.
Who each one is for
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 5800U for ultraportable laptops wanting genuine Zen 3 architecture with strong single- and multi-thread performance at 15W. Avoid it for buyers on a tighter budget who don't need Zen 3 specifically, the Zen 2-based Ryzen 7 5700U offers similar core count for less.
What Ryzen 7 4700U and Ryzen 7 5800U have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, tdp and integrated graphics are identical here. They match on 6 further specifications as well.
