Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Ryzen 7 8840HS comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8840HS performs better than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v3 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v3.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
