Core i9-9900KF vs Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i9-9900KF beats the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9900KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme 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 AI Z2 Extreme 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.
