Ryzen 9 6900HS vs Ryzen 5 7640HS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is faster than the Ryzen 5 7640HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7640HS. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7640HS. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640HS. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HS. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 7640HS 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 5 7640HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 9 6900HS. 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 9 6900HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
