Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Core i9-9900KS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9900KS is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-9900KS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Also, the Core i9-9900KS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9900KS CPU because of its slightly 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 5800X3D has more L2 cache than the Core i9-9900KS. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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 5800X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
