HP Elitebook 840 G3 Core i7 6th Gen 8GB RAM 256SSD Slim 14 Inch

HP Elitebook 840 G3 6500U is currently the second-fastest 15-watt mobile processor, so users are well-equipped for demanding standard applications. The performance is not on a workstation level, which would require a 45-watt Skylake or Broadwell processor. Those are available in HP’s workstations such as the HP  which is currently ranked third in our Workstation Top 10.

Looking at the performance of th HP Elitebook 840 G3e 6500U, it will be interesting to see if the SoC can utilize the performance. The Turbo Boost is often limited, depending on the cooling solution or cautious temperature limits, so the performance of the 6500U can vary depending on the device. Such a thermal throttling can drop the clock below the nominal value in the worst case, which would be a significant performance limitation compared to the specifications.

However, this is not the case for our , so there should not be any issues here. Cinebench Multi is executed with 3.0 GHz and determines 322 points, which is almost on par with the high-end Core i7 inside the Latitude 14 or the T460s, respectively. This clock can be maintained for quite a while; our Cinebench Multi loop ran for 30 minutes and the processor was still running at 3.0 GHz with the activated fans.
