Core i7-9700K vs Ryzen 7 8840HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8840HS is faster than the Core i7-9700K. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 8840HS has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 8840HS. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-9700K. The Ryzen 7 8840HS also has slightly 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 i7-9700K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
