Intel Core i7-7800X vs AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D

Core i7-7800X vs Ryzen 5 7500X3D benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7500X3D performs better than the Core i7-7800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7800X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7500X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7800X.

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 i7-7800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
