Ryzen 3 5300G vs Core i7-9700F specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700F beats the Ryzen 3 5300G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300G in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9700F has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5300G that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F 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. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-9700F also has significantly 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 5300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
