Core i7-8086K vs Ryzen AI 5 340 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen AI 5 340 beats the Core i7-8086K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8086K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8086K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen AI 5 340. Also, the Core i7-8086K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen AI 5 340 outputs less heat than Core i7-8086K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen AI 5 340 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8086K. The Ryzen AI 5 340 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-8086K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
