Intel Core i5-10505 vs AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS

Core i5-10505 vs Ryzen 5 7640HS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 7640HS is faster than the Core i5-10505. Despite this, the Core i5-10505 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10505. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640HS outputs less heat than Core i5-10505 thanks to a slightly 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 i5-10505 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
