Core 2 Quad Q8200 vs Ryzen 9 8945HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 8945HS is faster than the Core 2 Quad Q8200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q8200 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has significantly more cores than the Core 2 Quad Q8200. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core 2 Quad Q8200. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Quad Q8200. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q8200. The Ryzen 9 8945HS outputs less heat than Core 2 Quad Q8200 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core 2 Quad Q8200

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
