Ryzen 5 3500X vs Core i7-7700 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500X performs better than the Core i7-7700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-7700 has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-7700 has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Both the Ryzen 5 3500X and Core i7-7700 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-7700 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, the Ryzen 5 3500X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-7700. The Ryzen 5 3500X also has significantly 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 3500X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
