Ryzen 7 5800H vs Ryzen 9 7940HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 7940HS is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800H 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 7940HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800H. Also, the Ryzen 9 7940HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU because of its 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 9 7940HS has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800H. 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 7 5800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
