Core i7-9700 vs Ryzen 9 6900HX comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 6900HX is faster than the Core i7-9700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 9 6900HX has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700. Also, the Ryzen 9 6900HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HX 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 9 6900HX has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700. The Ryzen 9 6900HX also has slightly more L3 cache.

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