Ryzen 7 1700 vs Core i7-1265U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1265U performs better than the Ryzen 7 1700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1700 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1265U has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 1700. Indeed, the Core i7-1265U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 1700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1700 has more threads than the Core i7-1265U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 1700 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1265U outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 1700 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 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
