Ryzen 9 7940HS vs Ryzen 7 8845HS comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 7940HS beats the Ryzen 7 8845HS in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 8845HS in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number 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 8845HS. Also, the Ryzen 9 7940HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8845HS outputs less heat than Ryzen 9 7940HS thanks to a 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.
