日本[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 6800U vs Ryzen 7 5800U – The 5800U isn’t ready to go down
These two processors are direct siblings, as the Ryzen 7 6800U comes in to replace the Ryzen 7 5800U, thanks to an improved Zen 3+ architecture, along with a brand new RDNA 2-based iGPU, while the Zen 3 CPUs from last year still harness Vega, an architecture from 5 years ago.
How much difference is there between the two CPUs? Stick around to find out as we compare the Ryzen 7 6800U against the Ryzen 7 5800U.
