Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i9-8950HK specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-8950HK is faster than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 4700U has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i9-8950HK has 6 cores. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-8950HK has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-8950HK CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 4700U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U.

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.
