AMD Ryzen 7 5800H

Released Jan 12, 2021Laptop ProcessorCore i7 check: Tier B

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
  • Cheap DDR4-3200 platform keeps laptop prices low
  • Held up well against Intel's 11th-gen H chips

Cons

  • Vega 8 graphics are dated next to RDNA 2 iGPUs
  • 7nm node and DDR4 hurt battery life
  • Single-core performance is far off current chips
  • No AV1 decode or AI accelerator
