Core i7-9700K vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U is faster than the Core i7-9700K. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U. Also, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U 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 PRO 5875U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5875U 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 i7-9700K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
