Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i9-10980HK benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5700U is faster than the Core i9-10980HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-10980HK in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700U. Also, the Core i9-10980HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-10980HK 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 5700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 5700U.

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 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
