Ryzen 7 5800 vs Core i7-11700KF specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800 is faster than the Core i7-11700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-11700KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Core i7-11700KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800. Also, the Core i7-11700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11700KF CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 5800 also has significantly more 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 5800 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
