Core i7-12800H vs Ryzen 5 7640HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 7640HS is faster than the Core i7-12800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-12800H in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-12800H has significantly more cores with 14 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 7640HS has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640HS. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800H. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12800H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7640HS CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7640HS.

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 i7-12800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
