Core i7-11700F vs Ryzen 9 6900HS comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 6900HS beats the Core i7-11700F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-11700F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11700F. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Core i7-11700F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 i7-11700F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
