Ryzen 7 2700X vs Core i7-9700KF benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 2700X performs better than the Core i7-9700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 2700X has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9700KF outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 2700X thanks to a slightly 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 Ryzen 7 2700X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. The Ryzen 7 2700X also has slightly more L3 cache.
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 2700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
