Core i9-9940X vs Ryzen 7 8845HS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8845HS is faster than the Core i9-9940X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9940X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9940X has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 8845HS that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 8845HS. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9940X. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8845HS outputs less heat than Core i9-9940X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i9-9940X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
