Core i5-1245U vs Ryzen 5 7640U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7640U beats the Core i5-1245U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7640U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7640U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1245U. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1245U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7640U 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 Core i5-1245U has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640U has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1245U.

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 i5-1245U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
