AMD Ryzen 7 4700U vs Intel Core i7-6700K

Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i7-6700K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 4700U is faster than the Core i7-6700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 4700U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6700K. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700U has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-6700K. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6700K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 4700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-6700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
