Core i9-12900F vs Ryzen 7 8700F specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i9-12900F beats the Ryzen 7 8700F in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 8700F in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-12900F has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 8700F that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 8700F. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 8700F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900F. Despite this, the Core i9-12900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 i9-12900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
