Core i7-9700K vs Ryzen 7 8845HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8845HS performs better than the Core i7-9700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 7 8845HS has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700K. Also, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8845HS outputs less heat than Core i7-9700K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8845HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. The Ryzen 7 8845HS 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.
