AMD Ryzen 5 3550H vs Intel Core i7-7700T

Ryzen 5 3550H vs Core i7-7700T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3550H performs better than the Core i7-7700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7700T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Core i7-7700T 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 3550H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-7700T. Despite this, the Core i7-7700T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
