Xeon X5680 vs Ryzen 5 7640HS specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7640HS beats the Xeon X5680 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5680 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5680. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640HS outputs less heat than Xeon X5680 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon X5680. The Ryzen 5 7640HS also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 X5680 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
