Ryzen 7 1800X vs Ryzen 5 7640U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 1800X beats the Ryzen 5 7640U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7640U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 1800X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640U outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7640U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 1800X. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
