Ryzen 7 7700X vs Ryzen 7 8700F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7700X beats the Ryzen 7 8700F in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 8700F in all gaming tests too.

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 7700X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 8700F. Also, the Ryzen 7 7700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 8700F outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 7700X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 7700X 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 7700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
