L3 cache is where these two genuinely part company, Ryzen 7 4800H 8 MB against Ryzen 7 5800HS 16 MB, a 50% lead for Ryzen 7 5800HS. There is a split on configurable tdp floor as well, 35W on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 35 W on the Ryzen 7 5800HS. They differ on form factor too, Laptops, Desktops on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus Laptop on the Ryzen 7 5800HS. They differ on release year too, 2020 on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 2021 on the Ryzen 7 5800HS. Base power is not the same on both, 35-54W on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 35 W on the Ryzen 7 5800HS. They differ on memory type too, DDR4 - Up to 3200 , LPDDR4 - Up... on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-4266 on the Ryzen 7 5800HS.

Which should you buy, Ryzen 7 4800H or Ryzen 7 5800HS?

Buy the Ryzen 7 4800H for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is not the pick for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads. Take the Ryzen 7 5800HS for thin-and-light gaming laptops wanting near-full 5800H performance in a slimmer chassis. It is the wrong buy for buyers building around the largest, most thermally-unconstrained gaming chassis, the standard 45W 5800H may extract slightly more sustained performance there.

What Ryzen 7 4800H and Ryzen 7 5800HS have in common

Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and integrated graphics read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 9 further specifications as well.
