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.

Conclusion

The two Ryzen 7 processors are very evenly matched, as even in the gaming tests, the iGPU is quite competitive in esports titles, which might also be the case because these games are pretty CPU-focused, and since both chips have an 8-core/16-thread setup, performance and the fps come to be quite even.
