Ryzen 7 4700G vs Core i7-9700KF comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 4700G is faster than the Core i7-9700KF. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9700KF in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 4700G has more threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 7 4700G and Core i7-9700KF have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700KF 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 4700G has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700G.

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 4700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
