Ryzen 5 7600X vs Ryzen 7 8700F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 8700F beats the Ryzen 5 7600X in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7600X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 8700F has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7600X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7600X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 8700F. Also, the Ryzen 5 7600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8700F outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 7600X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 8700F has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 7600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7600X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 8700F.

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 7600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
