Ryzen 7 3800X vs Ryzen 9 6900HS specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is faster than the Ryzen 7 3800X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 3800X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 9 6900HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 3800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 3800X also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
