Ryzen 7 4700G vs Core i9-7900X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-7900X performs better than the Ryzen 7 4700G. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4700G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-7900X has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 4700G that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-7900X. Also, the Ryzen 7 4700G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-7900X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
