Core i7-8700 vs Ryzen 5 7535HS comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7535HS beats the Core i7-8700 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7535HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8700. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 7535HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8700. The Ryzen 5 7535HS also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
