Ryzen 7 4700U vs Core i9-9900K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9900K performs better than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 4700U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i9-9900K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9900K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. Also, the Core i9-9900K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900K 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 i9-9900K. Despite this, the Core i9-9900K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U.

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.
