Ryzen 5 5600H vs Core i7-9700F benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600H performs better than the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-9700F has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5600H. Indeed, the Core i7-9700F has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5600H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5600H has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5600H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5600H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700F 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 5600H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-9700F. The Ryzen 5 5600H also has slightly 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 5 5600H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
