AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
Zen 3 finally reached laptops with Cezanne, and the Ryzen 7 5800H became the default 8-core gaming chip of 2021. Eight full cores and 16 threads at 45W still handle modern games and editing work, even if single-core speed has aged.
Pros
- Eight full Zen 3 cores and 16 threads at 45W
- Excellent multi-core value on the used market
