With yesterday’s defeat of the Ryzen 5 5600H, today we have a more powerful opponent to combat the Core i7-11600H. This time it is one of the big boys in AMD’s army, the Ryzen 7 5800H, and it comes with a pretty big advantage.

The AMD CPU has an 8/16-layout and is more akin to the Core i7-11800H. Thankfully, we have already seen these two chips duke it out and you can read all about it here. While the Ryzen 7 5800H is a favorite, we always have to expect an upset.

CPU benchmarks

The AMD processor is a stone-cold killer in the 3D Rendering test, showing a 23% higher score. However, results were much closer in Photoshop, and while the Ryzen still came out ahead, it was by 0.1 seconds, which is negligible.

Conclusion

The Ryzen 7 5800H solidified itself as the better all-around CPU of the two. It not only shows a 23% improvement in 3D Rendering while stagnating in Photoshop. If you are serious about 3D modeling and Blender work, the AMD is the place to be. However, if you will mainly work with photos and 2D images, the Core i7-11600H will do a fantastic job, as the 0.1 second lead of the Ryzen 7 means next to nothing.
