AMD Ryzen 7 1700X vs Intel Core i7-1265U

Ryzen 7 1700X vs Core i7-1265U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1700X is faster than the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1265U has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 1700X that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1700X has more threads than the Core i7-1265U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to 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 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.

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