Core i3-6100T vs Ryzen 5 7640HS specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7640HS beats the Core i3-6100T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 7640HS has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-6100T that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-6100T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6100T. A Core i3-6100T CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7640HS CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-6100T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
