Intel Core i7-9700F vs AMD Ryzen 5 4500

Core i7-9700F vs Ryzen 5 4500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500 is faster than the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9700F has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4500. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4500 has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 4500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500.

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 i7-9700F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
