Ryzen 7 1800X vs Core Ultra 7 256V comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 7 256V performs better than the Ryzen 7 1800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1800X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 1800X has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 1800X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core Ultra 7 256V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 256V has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 7 256V has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 1800X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1800X has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 7 256V.

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 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
