Ryzen 7 8840HS vs Ryzen 7 6800U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 6800U is faster than the Ryzen 7 8840HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 8840HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 6800U. Also, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800U outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 8840HS 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 8840HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 6800U. 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 8840HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
