Core i7-7820X vs Ryzen 7 6800U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 6800U is faster than the Core i7-7820X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7820X 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 i7-7820X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 6800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 6800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800U outputs less heat than Core i7-7820X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-7820X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
