Core i7-7820X vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7820X performs better than the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7820X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U 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.

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