About the Intel Core i7-8850H CPU

The Intel Core i7-8850H is an end-of-life 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2018. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Coffee Lake-H microarchitecture. The i7-8850H is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD 630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-8850H supports DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i7-8850H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-8850H features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.3 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i7-8850H includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD 630. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i7-8850H has the 213th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 31.02% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 5 5600U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600U is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2021. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. The 5600U is compatible with AMD Socket FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 5600U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 5600U features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 5600U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Vega 7. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 5 5600U has the 215th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 31.00% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
