Core i7-10700T vs Ryzen 5 7640U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700T is faster than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-10700T has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7640U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700T. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640U outputs less heat than Core i7-10700T thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-10700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
