Ryzen 7 7840U vs Ryzen 7 6800U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 7840U performs better than the Ryzen 7 6800U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 6800U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7840U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 6800U. Also, the Ryzen 7 7840U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800U outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 7840U thanks to a 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 6800U. 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 7840U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
