Core i5-10600 vs Ryzen 5 7640U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10600 beats the Ryzen 5 7640U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7640U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-10600. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640U outputs less heat than Core i5-10600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7640U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10600. The Ryzen 5 7640U also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-10600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
