Ryzen 7 5700G vs Core i9-9900 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700G beats the Core i9-9900 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9900 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5700G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9900. Despite this, the Core i9-9900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 5700G has more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
