Ryzen 7 2700U vs Core i7-2600K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2600K is faster than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U in all gaming tests too.

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 Core i7-2600K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
