Intel Core i5-1235U vs AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS

Core i5-1235U vs Ryzen 5 8640HS comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 8640HS performs better than the Core i5-1235U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1235U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 8640HS has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 8640HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Also, the Ryzen 5 8640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1235U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 8640HS CPU because of its 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 8640HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-1235U. 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 i5-1235U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
