Ryzen 7 5800H vs Core i7-9700KF specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800H performs better than the Core i7-9700KF. Despite this, the Core i7-9700KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 7 5800H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800H. Also, the Core i7-9700KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-9700KF CPU because of its 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 5800H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700KF. The Ryzen 7 5800H also has slightly 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 5800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
