Core i7-13700KF vs Ryzen 9 7945HX comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 7945HX performs better than the Core i7-13700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-13700KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 9 7945HX has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-13700KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 7945HX. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-13700KF has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 9 7945HX. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 7945HX has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-13700KF.

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 i7-13700KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
