AMD Ryzen 7 4700U vs AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS: Comparison
Ryzen 7 4700U vs Ryzen 7 6800HS: the l3 cache difference
On l3 cache the spread is 50%, Ryzen 7 4700U 8 MB against Ryzen 7 6800HS 16 MB, so Ryzen 7 6800HS takes it. They differ on tdp too, 15 W on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus 35 W on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. There is a split on socket as well, FP6 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus FP7 on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. There is a split on product line as well, Ryzen 7 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus Ryzen on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. Form factor is not the same on both, Laptop on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus Laptops, Desktops on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. They differ on release year too, 2020 on the Ryzen 7 4700U versus 2022 on the Ryzen 7 6800HS.
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. The Ryzen 7 6800HS suits mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is the wrong buy for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, integrated graphics and market segment read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 1 further specification as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the Ryzen 7 4700U and Ryzen 7 6800HS differ on total threads?
