Core i9-11900KF vs Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U benchmarks

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

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 i9-11900KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-11900KF. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
