Ryzen 9 7940HS vs Ryzen 7 9700X benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 9700X 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 9 7940HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 9700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 9700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 9700X 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. The Ryzen 7 9700X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
