Core i7-11700KF vs Ryzen 7 260 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 260 is faster than the Core i7-11700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-11700KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11700KF. Also, the Ryzen 7 260 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 260 outputs less heat than Core i7-11700KF 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 7 260 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-11700KF. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-11700KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
