Ryzen 7 1700 vs Core i7-9700T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 1700 performs better than the Core i7-9700T. Despite this, the Core i7-9700T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 1700 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700T. Despite this, the Core i7-9700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9700T 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.

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 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
