Ryzen 7 1700X vs Core i9-10885H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 1700X performs better than the Core i9-10885H. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10885H. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-10885H 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.

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