Core i7-9700KF vs Ryzen 7 8840HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8840HS performs better than the Core i7-9700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 7 8840HS 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 8840HS. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 8840HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. 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 i7-9700KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
