Ryzen 3 5300G vs Core i9-9900KF specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9900KF is faster than the Ryzen 3 5300G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300G in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-9900KF has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 5300G has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5300G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 5300G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9900KF. Despite this, the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i9-9900KF also has significantly more 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 Ryzen 3 5300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
