日本[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 6800U vs AMD Ryzen 7 6800H – The gap isn’t that large, to be honest
How much difference does extra wattage make? This is what we’re tackling today, as we place the new Ryzen 7 6800U against its higher TDP counterpart, the Ryzen 7 6800H.
We’ll compare both the computational performance, as well as performance in games, which can be very crucial, as the higher wattage chip can also spike up its integrated graphics, to reach higher clocks.
Today we’re comparing the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and the Ryzen 7 6800H.
