Core i9-9820X vs Ryzen 7 6800U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9820X performs better than the Ryzen 7 6800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 6800U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9820X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 6800U. Indeed, the Core i9-9820X has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 6800U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 6800U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9820X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 6800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 6800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800U outputs less heat than Core i9-9820X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i9-9820X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
