Ryzen 7 5700G vs Core i9-9900KF specs and performance

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

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5700G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9900KF. Despite this, the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900KF 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 5700G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-9900KF. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
