The Ryzen 9 5900HX has been dominating every comparison that we’ve done with it and we believe that the bloodshed will continue. The only CPU that was able to compete with and come anywhere close to topple it was the Ryzen 7 5800H. For today we have the predecessor of the 5800H, the 4800H, and it gets the tough job of presenting enough of a challenge to the Ryzen 9 so that this comparison isn’t a complete stomp. While it has a lower clock speed, cache, and uses the older Zen 2 architecture, we have seen older CPUs punch above their weight and surprise us out of nowhere.

Today we are comparing the Ryzen 9 5900HX against the Ryzen 7 4800H.
