Core i7-1270P vs Ryzen 5 7640U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1270P is faster than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7640U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1270P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7640U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7640U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1270P. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-1270P has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 7640U. The Core i7-1270P 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 i7-1270P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
