AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS vs AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS: Comparison
What is the difference between Ryzen 7 5800HS and Ryzen 7 6800HS?
The first real difference is p-core boost clock: Ryzen 7 5800HS 4.4 GHz against Ryzen 7 6800HS 4.7 GHz. There is a split on p-core base clock as well, 2.8 GHz on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus 3.2 GHz on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. Socket is not the same on both, FP6 on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus FP7 on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. They differ on product line too, Ryzen 7 on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus Ryzen on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. There is a split on form factor as well, Laptop on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus Laptops, Desktops on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. Release year is not the same on both, 2021 on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus 2022 on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. They differ on igpu too, AMD Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus AMD Radeon 680M on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. There is a split on microarchitecture as well, Zen 3 on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus Zen 3+ on the Ryzen 7 6800HS. On memory type there is little in it, DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-4266 on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus DDR5 on the Ryzen 7 6800HS.
Which should you buy, Ryzen 7 5800HS or Ryzen 7 6800HS?
Take the Ryzen 7 5800HS for thin-and-light gaming laptops wanting near-full 5800H performance in a slimmer chassis. It is not the one for buyers building around the largest, most thermally-unconstrained gaming chassis, the standard 45W 5800H may extract slightly more sustained performance there. The Ryzen 7 6800HS suits 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 tdp read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 12 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the Ryzen 7 5800HS and Ryzen 7 6800HS differ on max memory speed?
Yes. Max Memory Speed reads 4266 MT/s on the Ryzen 7 5800HS versus 6400 MT/s on the Ryzen 7 6800HS.
Is the Configurable TDP Floor the same on the Ryzen 7 5800HS and Ryzen 7 6800HS?
It is. Both are listed at 35 W, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 5800HS if you want the higher L2 cache (4 MB vs 4 MB), the higher L3 cache (16 MB vs 16 MB) and the higher memory channels (2 vs 2).
Choose 6800HS if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
