Ryzen 7 3700X vs Core i7-9700K benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 3700X performs better than the Core i7-9700K. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K 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 3700X has more threads. Both the Ryzen 7 3700X and Core i7-9700K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 3700X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700K CPU because of its 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 Ryzen 7 3700X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700K. The Ryzen 7 3700X also has significantly 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 3700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
