Core i9-10980HK vs Ryzen 7 7735U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10980HK is faster than the Ryzen 7 7735U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 7735U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7735U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7735U outputs less heat than Core i9-10980HK thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 7 7735U has more L2 cache than 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.
