Core i7-7700K vs Ryzen 3 5425U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 5425U is faster than the Core i7-7700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 5425U. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 5425U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-7700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
