AMD Ryzen 3 3300X vs Intel Core i7-9700K

Ryzen 3 3300X vs Core i7-9700K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700K is faster than the Ryzen 3 3300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3300X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9700K has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3300X that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-9700K. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 3 3300X 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 Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
