Ryzen 7 2700 vs Core i7-1270P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 2700 beats the Core i7-1270P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 2700. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 2700. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1270P outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 2700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 Core i7-1270P has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 2700. The Core i7-1270P 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 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
