Core i7-7800X vs Ryzen 7 7800X3D comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-7800X that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7800X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7800X. Also, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D outputs less heat than Core i7-7800X thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-7800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
