Ryzen 7 3700U vs Core i7-7700K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7700K beats the Ryzen 7 3700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3700U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-7700K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 3700U. A Ryzen 7 3700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 3700U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-7700K. Despite this, the Core i7-7700K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U.

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 3700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
