The highest-order product from H-class is Ryzen 9 5980HX, while from the U-team there is Ryzen 7 5800U. Let’s take a look at the specs and numbers now.
AMD Ryzen 5000 Mobile: H-Series
The Ryzen 9 5980HX with its 8 cores (in a single block), 16 threads, 20MB of L2+L3 shared cache, and a top clock speed of 4.6GHz is touted as the “ultimate performance” engine for gaming laptops. They boast thermal headroom of up to 45+ watts TDPs. Further, they will be overclock-ready too. The GPU is the same as its predecessor, although AMD has teased RDNA2-based graphics for laptops and mid-range desktops later this year.

For now, these are claimed to be better than Intel’s Tiger Lake H counterparts.
AMD Ryzen 5000 Mobile: U-Series
As you can see from the above table, there are still few U-series processors that are fabbed on Zen 2 microarchitecture. The reasoning is particularly not clear at the moment. Meanwhile, the Zen-3 based Ryzen 7 5800U claims single-threaded performance gains of up to 16% and up to 17.5 hours of battery endurance.
