Ryzen 7 8700G vs Ryzen 9 8945HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8700G performs better than the Ryzen 9 8945HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 8700G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 8945HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 8945HS outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 8700G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache 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 8700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
