Core i7-9700 vs Ryzen 5 7535U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7535U performs better than the Core i7-9700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9700 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7535U. Indeed, the Core i7-9700 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7535U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7535U has more threads than the Core i7-9700. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7535U. Also, the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7535U outputs less heat than Core i7-9700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 7535U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700. The Ryzen 5 7535U 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. For instance, the Core i7-9700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
