Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i7-7800X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7800X beats the Ryzen 7 4700U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-7800X that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-7800X has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7800X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7800X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
