Ryzen 5 5600G vs Ryzen 5 7640HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600G is faster than the Ryzen 5 7640HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7640HS 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. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5600G. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640HS outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 5600G thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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 7640HS has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5600G. 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 Ryzen 5 5600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
