Core i9-10900F vs Ryzen 7 5800XT benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800XT performs better than the Core i9-10900F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10900F in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-10900F has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5800XT that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800XT. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800XT has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10900F. Despite this, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10900F CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800XT CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5800XT has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10900F. The Ryzen 7 5800XT also has significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
