Core i7-10700K vs Ryzen 9 6900HS comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 6900HS beats the Core i7-10700K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-10700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-10700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HS. Also, the Core i7-10700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Core i7-10700K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 9 6900HS has more L2 cache than the Core i7-10700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-10700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
