Core i7-9850H vs Ryzen 5 240 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9850H beats the Ryzen 5 240 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 240 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 Ryzen 5 240 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9850H. Also, the Ryzen 5 240 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 Ryzen 5 240 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9850H. The Ryzen 5 240 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 i7-9850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
