Ryzen 7 1800X vs Core i7-8086K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1800X is faster than the Core i7-8086K. Despite this, the Core i7-8086K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more cores than the Core i7-8086K. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1800X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-8086K. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8086K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8086K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1800X. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1800X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8086K. The Ryzen 7 1800X 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 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
