Core i7-11700 vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme beats the Core i7-11700 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11700 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen Z1 Extreme has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11700. In terms of cache, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-11700. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i7-11700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
