The Ryzen 5 5000 is comprised of the Ryzen 5 5600HS and the Ryzen 5 5600H. The Ryzen 7 5000 on the other hand is composed of the Ryzen 5 5800HS and the Ryzen 5 5800H. The only difference within those two chipset classifications of the two categories is the lower 35W TDP of the HS version compared to the 45W TDP in the H version.
The Ryzen 9 5000 which could be considered as the most powerful category on all the Ryzen 5000 chipsets are being split into four types - the Ryzen 9 5900HS, Ryzen 9 5900HX, Ryzen 9 5980HS, and the Ryzen 9 5990HX. The Ryzen 9 5900 types may be dubbed as the more standard types of CPUs, while the Ryzen 9 5900 variants delivers a higher form of performance in terms of all aspects.
