Core i9-10900F vs Ryzen 9 6900HS comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10900F is faster than the Ryzen 9 6900HS. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 6900HS 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 9 6900HS that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 9 6900HS. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-10900F. Despite this, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Core i9-10900F 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 6900HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-10900F. Despite this, the Core i9-10900F has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HS.

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. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
