Core i9-9900 vs Ryzen 5 7600X3D benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-9900 beats the Ryzen 5 7600X3D in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9900 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. Indeed, the Core i9-9900 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9900. Despite this, the Core i9-9900 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900. The Ryzen 5 7600X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i9-9900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
