Ryzen 9 7940HS vs Ryzen 7 8700G benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8700G is faster than the Ryzen 9 7940HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 7940HS in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8700G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 7940HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 7940HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 8700G CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and 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 7940HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
