Core i5-11400F vs Ryzen 5 8640HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 8640HS performs better than the Core i5-11400F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11400F in all gaming tests too.

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 8640HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Also, the Ryzen 5 8640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8640HS outputs less heat than Core i5-11400F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-11400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
