Intel Core i9-10885H vs AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS

Core i9-10885H vs Ryzen 9 8945HS benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 8945HS beats the Core i9-10885H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10885H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10885H. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H 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.

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 i9-10885H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
