Core i7-11800H vs Ryzen 7 9700X comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 9700X is faster than the Core i7-11800H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11800H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 9700X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. Also, the Ryzen 7 9700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-11800H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 9700X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-11800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
