AMD Ryzen 5 3500 vs Intel Core i7-9700KF

Ryzen 5 3500 vs Core i7-9700KF comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700KF is faster than the Ryzen 5 3500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9700KF has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500. Indeed, the Core i7-9700KF has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 3500 and Core i7-9700KF have the same clock speed. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700KF 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, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-9700KF. The Ryzen 5 3500 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
