Ryzen 7 5800X vs Core i9-11900F benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-11900F performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-11900F. Despite this, the Core i9-11900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-11900F outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 5800X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 7 5800X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
