Core i7-4790K vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs better than the Core i7-4790K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-4790K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4790K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4790K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4790K CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-4790K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
