Core i7-11700F vs Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-11700F performs better than the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme. Despite this, the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-11700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme. Despite this, the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-11700F. 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 i7-11700F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
