Core i7-9700F vs Ryzen 5 5560U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700F performs better than the Ryzen 5 5560U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 5560U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9700F has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5560U. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5560U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5560U has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 5560U. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 5560U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 5560U.

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