Ryzen 7 5800X vs Ryzen 7 8700F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 8700F is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X 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 8700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X. Also, the Ryzen 7 8700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8700F 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 8700F has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 8700F.

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.
