Core i7-9700K vs Ryzen 9 5900HX comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 5900HX beats the Core i7-9700K in overall performance. 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 9 5900HX has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 5900HX. Also, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 5900HX 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 9 5900HX has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. The Ryzen 9 5900HX 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.
