Core i9-10900 vs Ryzen 5 7500F comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7500F performs better than the Core i9-10900. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10900 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-10900 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7500F. Indeed, the Core i9-10900 has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7500F. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7500F. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7500F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-10900. Despite this, the Core i9-10900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 7500F has more L2 cache than the Core i9-10900. The Ryzen 5 7500F also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i9-10900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
