Ryzen 7 7840U vs Ryzen 7 260 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7840U beats the Ryzen 7 260 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 260 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 7 260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7840U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 7840U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 260 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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 7840U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
