Core i7-10700KF vs Ryzen 7 5700X3D specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D beats the Core i7-10700KF in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10700KF in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-10700KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10700KF. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-10700KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
