Core i5-7500 vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is faster than the Core i5-7500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7500. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7500. Also, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7500 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU because of its 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 7 9800X3D has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7500. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D 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. For instance, the Core i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
