Intel Core i7-7700 vs Intel Core i3-9100F

Core i7-7700 vs Core i3-9100F comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7700 performs better than the Core i3-9100F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9100F in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-7700 has more threads. According to our data, the Core i7-7700 and Core i3-9100F have the same clock speed. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-7700 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-7700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
