Ryzen 7 1700 vs Core i9-9820X specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9820X is faster than the Ryzen 7 1700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9820X has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 1700. Indeed, the Core i9-9820X has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 1700. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 1700. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9820X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1700. Also, the Core i9-9820X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 1700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9820X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
