Ryzen 7 1700X vs Core i7-1255U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1700X is faster than the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1255U has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 1700X. Indeed, the Core i7-1255U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 1700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1700X has more threads than the Core i7-1255U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 1700X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1255U outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1700X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 1700X also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
