AMD Ryzen 9 4900H vs AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS: Comparison
Ryzen 9 4900H vs Ryzen 9 4900HS: the p-core boost clock difference
The first real difference is p-core boost clock: Ryzen 9 4900H 4.4 GHz against Ryzen 9 4900HS 4.3 GHz. There is a split on p-core base clock as well, 3.3 GHz on the Ryzen 9 4900H versus 3.0 GHz on the Ryzen 9 4900HS. There is a split on tdp as well, 45 W on the Ryzen 9 4900H versus 35 W on the Ryzen 9 4900HS.
Who each one is for
Take the Ryzen 9 4900H for gaming laptops of the Ryzen 4000 generation wanting strong 8-core, single-thread-focused performance. It is the wrong buy for buyers specifically wanting maximum multi-threaded ceiling from hyperthreading, the SMT-equipped Ryzen 9 4900HS delivers stronger results in heavily-threaded workloads. Take the Ryzen 9 4900HS for thin-and-light gaming laptops of the Ryzen 4000 generation wanting genuine 8-core, 16-thread performance without a bulky chassis. Avoid it for buyers wanting the newer Zen 3 architecture, the later Ryzen 9 5980HS delivers meaningfully better single-thread performance at a similar TDP.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and l3 cache included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 11 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
