Ryzen 5 8640HS vs Ryzen 5 8600G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8640HS beats the Ryzen 5 8600G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8600G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 8640HS has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8600G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 8640HS. Also, the Ryzen 5 8600G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 8640HS CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 8600G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and 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 8640HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
