Core i9-11900F vs Ryzen 7 7840U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-11900F performs better than the Ryzen 7 7840U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 7840U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7840U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-11900F. Despite this, the Core i9-11900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7840U outputs less heat than Core i9-11900F 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 7 7840U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-11900F. 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 i9-11900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
