Ryzen 7 1800X vs Core i9-10980HK comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 1800X is faster than the Core i9-10980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10980HK in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 1800X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-10980HK. The Core i9-10980HK outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 1800X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10980HK. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
