Core i9-9900KF vs Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H is faster than the Core i9-9900KF. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9900KF in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H. Also, the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H outputs less heat than Core i9-9900KF thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-9900KF. 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 i9-9900KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
