Core i5-11600KF vs Ryzen 5 8640HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 8640HS performs better than the Core i5-11600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-11600KF 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 Core i5-11600KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 8640HS. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 8640HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11600KF. The Ryzen 5 8640HS 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 i5-11600KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
