Core i9-12900T vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-12900T performs better than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-12900T has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. Indeed, the Core i9-12900T has 16 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900T. Despite this, the Core i9-12900T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-12900T CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i9-12900T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
