Ryzen 7 5700X3D vs Ryzen 7 9700X specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 9700X is faster than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5700X3D 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 Ryzen 7 9700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Also, the Ryzen 7 9700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 9700X outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5700X3D thanks to a 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 9700X has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 9700X.

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 5700X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
