Core i7-6700T vs Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700T is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6700T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U outputs less heat than Core i7-6700T thanks to a 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 PRO 2700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700T. Despite this, the Core i7-6700T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
