AMD Ryzen 7 4800H vs AMD Ryzen 7 6800U​: Comparison

Ryzen 7 4800H vs Ryzen 7 6800U​ l3 cache compared

The gap that matters here is l3 cache: Ryzen 7 4800H 8 MB against Ryzen 7 6800U​ 16 MB, which puts Ryzen 7 6800U​ 50% ahead. P-core boost clock is not the same on both, 4.2 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 4.7 GHz on the Ryzen 7 6800U​. They differ on p-core base clock too, 2.9 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 2.7 GHz on the Ryzen 7 6800U​. There is a split on configurable tdp floor as well, 35W on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 15 W on the Ryzen 7 6800U​. Socket is not the same on both, FP6 on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus FP7 on the Ryzen 7 6800U​. They differ on product line too, Ryzen 7 on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus Ryzen on the Ryzen 7 6800U​. There is a split on release year as well, 2020 on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 2022 on the Ryzen 7 6800U​. Igpu is not the same on both, AMD Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus AMD Radeon 680M on the Ryzen 7 6800U​. They differ on base power too, 35-54W on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus 15 W on the Ryzen 7 6800U​.

Which should you buy, Ryzen 7 4800H or Ryzen 7 6800U​?

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. The Ryzen 7 6800U​ is the one to take for 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

Where they agree, they agree completely, total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and integrated graphics included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 6 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the Ryzen 7 4800H and Ryzen 7 6800U​ differ on memory type?

Yes. Memory Type reads DDR4 - Up to 3200 , LPDDR4 - Up... on the Ryzen 7 4800H versus DDR5 on the Ryzen 7 6800U​.

Is the Socket Status the same on the Ryzen 7 4800H and Ryzen 7 6800U​?

It is. Both are listed at End of Life, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
