Ryzen 7 7840U vs Ryzen 7 5700 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 7840U is faster than the Ryzen 7 5700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5700 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7840U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7840U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 7840U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5700 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, the Ryzen 7 7840U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 5700. 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 7840U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
