Ryzen 5 7500F vs Core i9-9900KS benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7500F beats the Core i9-9900KS in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9900KS in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9900KS has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7500F. Indeed, the Core i9-9900KS has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7500F. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7500F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-9900KS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 7500F. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 7500F CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900KS CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7500F has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900KS. The Ryzen 5 7500F 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 5 7500F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
