Core i9-11900KF vs Ryzen 7 7800X3D comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D performs better than the Core i9-11900KF. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-11900KF in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-11900KF. Despite this, the Core i9-11900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D outputs less heat than Core i9-11900KF thanks to a slightly 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 7800X3D has more L2 cache than the Core i9-11900KF. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i9-11900KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
