Ryzen 9 7940HS vs Ryzen 7 5800XT benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 7940HS is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800XT. 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 7940HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800XT. Also, the Ryzen 9 7940HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 7940HS 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 9 7940HS 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 9 7940HS.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 7940HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
