Is the RAM accurate for the 5600H? I thought it supported a maximum of 64GB.

The difference Lies in the graphics as well. The difference is very much noticeable in that areas.

Rated higher where? You're certainly not speaking in regards to performance as the 5800h wins every category. I bought a 5600h however, there was a $300 difference in price, in some cases, at that price I would have been sacrificing on a less superior GPU. I couldn't be happy with my Lenovo 15ACH6 laptop that's mated with a GTX 1650 graphics card. I'm stunned at the performance I've obtained with this little workhorse. Bought it on sale for $599 over 6 months ago and still if ever have I seen it at that price today. I use it for gaming as well, it kills my Xbox One X, and "currently" it competes, and at points, I feel its better than my Xbox Series S. Although I expect that to change with time as they phase out the previous gen game compatibility, plus programs will get better at harnessing the full power of the new-gen consoles. There isn't a question in my mind however unless things change The Series-S will undoubtedly be the last console I buy. As mentioned there's always a learning curve getting performance out of new-gen consoles as they're released, you don't have that with PC. This is why I believe games look better in some cases on my $600 laptop.

It's better to choose 5600H except about 20% performance gap.

I can't believe how tied they are. The 2 core difference isn't huge.

Well, that difference only occurs when the software you use takes advantage of the 2 extra cores (actually 4 extra threads). Otherwise the Ryzen 5 5600H has actually an advantage because more cores mean more memory latency. I'm surprised the 5800H is better in single core too.
