AMD Ryzen 7 5800H vs AMD Ryzen 7 6800H: Comparison

Ryzen 7 5800H vs Ryzen 7 6800H: the p-core boost clock difference

P-core boost clock is the dividing line, Ryzen 7 5800H 4.4 GHz against Ryzen 7 6800H 4.7 GHz. The benchmark result agrees. Cinebench 2024 (Single-Core) puts Ryzen 7 6800H 2% ahead, 88 against 86. They differ on form factor too, Laptop on the Ryzen 7 5800H versus Laptops, Desktops on the Ryzen 7 6800H. They differ on release year too, 2021 on the Ryzen 7 5800H versus 2022 on the Ryzen 7 6800H. There is a split on igpu as well, AMD Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 7 5800H versus AMD Radeon 680M on the Ryzen 7 6800H. There is a split on microarchitecture as well, Zen 3 on the Ryzen 7 5800H versus Zen 3+ on the Ryzen 7 6800H.

Which should you buy, Ryzen 7 5800H or Ryzen 7 6800H?

Take the Ryzen 7 5800H for high-performance gaming laptops wanting genuine Zen 3 architecture with strong single- and multi-thread performance. It is not the one for buyers on the tightest budget, the Ryzen 5 5600H offers similar core architecture at a lower price with reduced core count. Buy the Ryzen 7 6800H 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.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and p-core base clock read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 13 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the Ryzen 7 5800H and Ryzen 7 6800H differ on socket?

Yes. Socket reads FP6 on the Ryzen 7 5800H versus FP7 on the Ryzen 7 6800H.

Is the TDP the same on the Ryzen 7 5800H and Ryzen 7 6800H?

It is. Both are listed at 45 W, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
