Ryzen 7 3800XT vs Core i9-11900F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-11900F beats the Ryzen 7 3800XT in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3800XT 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 Ryzen 7 3800XT has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-11900F. Despite this, the Core i9-11900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-11900F outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 3800XT thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 3800XT also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 3800XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
