Core i7-9700KF vs Ryzen 7 7735HS specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7735HS beats the Core i7-9700KF in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF 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 7735HS has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7735HS. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7735HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. The Ryzen 7 7735HS 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 i7-9700KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
