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

Core i7-7700K vs Core i3-9100F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7700K is faster than the Core i3-9100F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9100F in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-7700K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-9100F. Also, the Core i7-7700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-9100F outputs less heat than Core i7-7700K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-7700K 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 i7-7700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
