Ryzen 7 7840U vs Ryzen 7 5800XT benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7840U beats the Ryzen 7 5800XT in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800XT in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5800XT 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 5800XT CPU because of its 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 7 7840U has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800XT. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800XT has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 7840U.

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 7840U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
