Core i9-10980HK vs Ryzen 5 7535HS benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7535HS beats the Core i9-10980HK in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10980HK in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-10980HK has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7535HS. Indeed, the Core i9-10980HK has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7535HS. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7535HS. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7535HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7535HS 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 7535HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10980HK. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i9-10980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
