Ryzen 7 5800 vs Core i7-8700 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8700 performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-8700 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700. The Ryzen 7 5800 also has significantly more L3 cache.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
