Core i7-9700 vs Ryzen 7 7800X3D specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D beats the Core i7-9700 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-9700. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i7-9700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
