Overview
SummaryThe AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture (4 nm process). It launched in Dec 2023. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.9 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.7 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FP7/FP7r2/FP8 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 28 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 3,524 in single-core performance and 19,895 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,373 for overall performance, 17,865 for productivity performance, 17,285 for creator performance, 19,771 for engineering performance and 15,546 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,316 per core, 1,658 per thread and 711 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,582. Its performance index is 104, so its overall performance is 4% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 67,272 in integer math, 39,287 in floating-point math, 225,848 in compression, 13,547 in cryptography, 1,003 in physics simulation, 15,936 in vector SIMD, 71 in the prime sieve and 27,252 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 14% above in integer math, 14% below in floating-point math, 1% below in compression, 18% above in cryptography, 8% below in physics simulation, 3% above in vector SIMD, 6% above in the prime sieve and 20% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
