Core i9-10980HK vs Ryzen 7 7730U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-10980HK performs better than the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 7730U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10980HK. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i9-10980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
