Ryzen 7 5700X vs Ryzen 7 8700G benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 8700G performs better than the Ryzen 7 5700X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5700X 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 8700G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5700X. Also, the Ryzen 7 8700G 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 8700G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 8700G.

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