Core i7-6700 vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D performs better than the Core i7-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-6700 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700. Also, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D also has significantly more 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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
