Core i7-7820X vs Core Ultra 5 226V benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7820X is faster than the Core Ultra 5 226V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 226V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-7820X has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7820X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 226V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 226V has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 i7-7820X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
